- CNLS Events:
- Talks at CNLS this week :
- Talks at CNLS next week :
- Upcoming Workshops :
- Excited State Processes in Electronic and Bio Nanomaterials, June 29 - July 2, Santa Fe, NM
- Simulating the Spatial-Temporal Patterns of Anthropogenic Climate Change, July 20-22, Santa Fe, NM
- 3rd Annual q-Bio Conference on Cellular and Information Processing, August 5-9, 2009, Santa Fe, NM
- Featured Items:
- Recent work of postdoc Tongye Shen (CNLS/T-6) and his sponsor Gnana Gnanakaran (T-6, CNLS-affiliated) was mentioned in
Science News,
describing their contribution to the biomass fuels project headed by Paul Langan (B-8).
- On April 23, Biophysical Journal will feature, on its cover, an article by CNLS postdoc Tongye Shen and his mentor S. Gnanakaran of T-6 entitled "The
Stability of Cellulose: A Statistical Perspective from a Coarse-Grained Model of Hydrogen-Bond Networks"
- CNLS Postdoc, Marko Rodriguez, presented the colloquium, "Distributed Graph Databases and the Emerging Web of Data" at the Department of Computer Science at the University
of New Mexico on April 16, 2009.
- Congratulations are due to CNLS Affiliate, Alan Perelson, of Theoretical Biology and Biophysics, who just published his 400th
peer-reviewed paper. This paper computationally
studies the factors that lead to a reduced probability of response to therapy in hepatitis C virus infected patients (see below). The paper is currently in press in the
journal Gastroenterology.
- CNLS congratulates Jon Yard (CCS-3/CNLS) on being awarded the Richard
P. Feynman Postdoctoral Fellowship and Anton Zilman (T-6/CNLS) on being awarded the
J. Robert Oppenheimer Postdoctoral Fellowship. In addition, Konstantin Turitsyn, an upcoming CNLS
postdoc, has also been awarded the Robert J. Oppenheimer Postdoctoral Fellowship.
In the World News:
- The Los Alamos-IBM supercomputing project 'Roadrunner' recently broke the petaflop barrier in computing speed. This landmark feat, which was previously predicted to be impossible for current super computer architecture has been widely reported by news agencies such as the New York Times and CNN. This achievement
was hailed as a sign that the United States is regaining the lead in computer science. The code that was used to demonstrate the highest speed to date models the visual cortex and grew out of collaborations that were started at the CNLS conference Grand Challenges in Neural Computation.

What is CNLS?
The Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) is part of the Laboratory's Theoretical Division, and it organizes research related to
nonlinear and complex systems phenomena. CNLS was formed in October of 1980.
CNLS Mission Statement
- Identify and study complex nonlinear phenomena using a diverse set of research approaches and methodologies, particularly those of statistical physics, nonlinear science, applied mathematics and numerical simulation.
- Promote the use of scientific results in applied research.
- Stimulate the formation of interdisciplinary approaches to complex problems.
- Facilitate the interchange of scientific results and ideas between Laboratory scientists and external centers of excellence.
- Encourage the exploration of new scientific frontiers at the interface between conventional disciplines.
- Support a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary science that underpins the Laboratory’s mission in national security.
