He will need to make his slides available to each site ahead of time so that we can follow along.  I think it helps if the slides are numbered so that we can all know which slide we should be viewing.

>> I have corresponded with Steve Plimpton renewing the invitation I had extended to him to deliver a seminar under the Sid Fuchs ME Seminar Series (always on a Friday afternoon). He had tentatively accepted, and indicated his particular interest in meeting with the groups that are working with/interested in LAMMPS. This can also be a LaSiGMA seminar (co-sponsored) subject to approval by the LaSiGMA Seminar Committee. Either way, he will be meeting with anyone interested and especially with LaSiGMA folks. In preparation, and until the time when the date is set, I would like to give everyone the opportunity to express their interest in meeting with him.
>>  
>> So please let me know if you are interested and also indicate which of these subjects you would like to visit with him on (this will determine the group each interested party will be placed, since there will be very little time for one-to-one individual meetings):
>>  
>> 1.      Multi-scale simulations and tool development with LAMMPS (coarse-graining, continuum-MD/DPD, etc.)
>> 2.      LAMMPS on GPUs
>> 3.      General LAMMPS
>>  
>> The first two topics are those related to the letter of support he provided to our grant proposal.
>>  
>> I would also propose a separate meeting with Graduate Students and post-docs, not necessarily technical, but social (although it is tempting to mix work and pleasure).
>>  
>> We will make provisions for our out-of-LSU colleagues and friends to beam into these meetings. So if you will not be able to be physically here, don’t let this deter you from indicating your interest.
>>  
>> For those who do not recognize the name, Steve Plimpton has been, and is, in charge of the LAMMPS project since inception, among other exciting projects. LAMMPS is one of the most popular and flexible open-source Molecular Dynamics simulation tools.
>>  
>> Depending on interest expressed, we can then define the number of days for his visit, before he makes a decision on a date. I will be handling the logistics and scheduling.
>>  
>> Looking forward to your expressed interest.
