Brownian Dynamics using MMTK

These are a collection of lectures on the extending the Molecular Modelling ToolKit (MMTK) (which is a generic Python library/package for molecular dynamics) to perform Brownian Dynamics Simulations. The lectures are organised in various modules:

  1. Introduction to Python and Object Oriented Programming.
  2. Simple scripting to perform basic MD and BD

These lectures were delivered and recorded in Monash University during Nov-Dec 2009. I thank the author of MMTK Dr Konrad Hinsen, for providing useful comments and insights in preparing these lecture slides, and Dr J Ravi Prakash, for providing the support to carry out this work.

Skills for Scientific Communication

Here we collect a set of lectures delivered in Communication Skills course, part of which is conducted by the department. An all round approach has been followed, starting from introduction to the scientific methodology, and up to some details in actually using a software's assistance for communication.
