    What’s Feeding Terrestrial Planets? JWST Observations of Protoplanetary Disk
    Dr. Abygail Waggoner
    University of Wisconsin-Madison

    The formation of terrestrial, or earth-like, planets is thought to occur in the inner few au of protoplanetary disks, but what is the composition of the dust and gas that forming-planets may inherit? In this talk, we’ll discuss how the James Webb Space Telescope can be used to measure the chemical composition of protoplanetary disk gas and how models can be used to understand the evolution of material throughout planet formation.

    Computing Free-Energy Landscapes from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    The most probable pathways of structural transition in biomolecular complexes follow minimum free-energy pathways. Employing an implicit scheme for solving the Langevin dynamics equation, called the string method, these pathways are determined for structural transitions in molecular motors. The underlying multidimensional thermodynamic landscape is probed to determine experimentally measurable quantities such as, binding affinity, turnover rates, and energy conversion efficiencies.
