Systematic coarse-graining of ionic liquid
We develop coarse-grained force fields (CGFFs) for computationally efficient and accurate molecular simulation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs). To obtain CGFF parameters, we employ a systematic coarse-graining approach based on the relative entropy (RE) method to reproduce not only the …

Multiresolution methods for materials modeling via coarse-graining
… be formulated using the wavelet transform as a coarse-graining technique. For small systems in which exact enumerations of all states is possible, we illustrate how the method recovers reasonably good estimates for physical properties (errors no more than 10%) with several orders of magnitude …

Coarse-graining electronic behavior in condensed matter systems : from electrons to continuum elasticity
… on electronic behavior is incorporated through coarse-grained interactions. Three specific systems are considered. In the first system of study, high momentum, plane wave states of the electronic wave function are coarse-grained, while the low momentum states are fully resolved. Moreover, the …

Coarse-graining and data mining approaches to the prediction of structures and their dynamics
… approaches to this problem is the systematic coarse-graining of less relevant degrees of freedom in order to obtain Hamiltonians that span larger length and time scale. Attempts to do this in the static regime (i.e. zero temperature) have already been developed, as well as thermodynamical …

Computational Modeling and Analysis of Protein Interactions at Multiple Coarse-grained Levels in Biological Systems
… to their transient nature. This thesis em- ploys coarse-graining techniques to simplify protein structures while preserving their behavior to analyze protein interactions in different systems and address specific research questions. We focus on the Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) protein, which can …

Continuum models for intergranular films in silicon nitride and comparison to atomistic simulations
… the continuum fields to discrete data sets, coarse-graining methods are proposed. Two methods of measuring local atomic structure are developed, one based on Voronoi tessellations and the other based on bond-angle distribution functions. A coarse-graining method based on volume averaging over …

Renormalization group methods for dynamics of spatially extended systems
… microscopic dynamics may be related, via coarse graining, to the same macroscopic dynamics. This thesis makes two contributions in this direction: first, we obtain the correct description of the dynamics of a continuous system on a discrete lattice, and second, we study the macroscopic …

Multilevel Monte Carlo simulation of soft matter using coarse-grained models
… in such situations, one often relies on a coarse-grained description that integrates out microscopic degrees of freedom, yielding a model that is composed of mesoscopic particles with effective interactions. In most cases, this coarse-graining procedure is not exact, resulting in a biased …

Parameterization of the Gay-Berne coarse-grained potential from atomistically detailed anisotropic free energy volumes
… could be achieved within weeks or days. Coarse-graining, a sub-class of mesoscale modelling, is used to represent molecules in a reduced form as either regular spheroids (ellipsoids) or as continuum models, using specialized interaction potentials. The Gay-Berne is a one such coarse-grain …

The method is based on the Magnus expansion which expresses the solution of a differential equation into an exponential form. The result …

Aspects of SU(2|4) symmetric field theories and the Lin-Maldacena geometries
… at strong coupling. Finally, we study a natural coarse-graining of the vacua, and find that the associated geometries are singular. We define an entropy functional that vanishes for regular geometries, is non-zero for singular geometries, and is maximized by the thermal state.
