Title: *Towards understanding glassy liquids: from physical theories to 
machine learning*

Abstract:

Glasses are amorphous solids produced by cooling a liquid fast enough to 
avoid crystallization. Mankind has manufactured them since thousands of 
years and yet we still lack a fundamental understanding of how and why 
they form. In this seminar, I will give a brief overview of some of the 
long-standing open problems about the glass transition. I will show how 
enhanced sampling methods are helping to disentangle competing 
theoretical descriptions of glassy liquids and then discuss recent 
applications of machine learning techniques in this context.
