| Abstract | A great triumph of computer simulations 40 years ago was to make the liquid state of matter understandable in terms of physical interactions between individual molecules. Prior to the first simulations of liquid argon and liquid water in the 1960's, there was no quantitatively rigorous molecular physics of the liquid state. Simple liquids are the simplest form of soft condensed matter. Living material is possibly the most complex. It might be argued that the complexity of life is made possible by the subtle balance and variety of physical interactions inherent in soft condensed matter. In this talk we consider the challenge of understanding this state of matter with particular examples biological and biomimetic membranes. |

Eric Jakobsson is in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and also has major commitments to the Center for Biophysics
and Computational Biology and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology on campus. He served from 2003
to 2005 as Director of the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the National Institute of General Medical
Sciences and the Chair of the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative Consortium at the National Institutes of
Health, in Bethesda, Maryland. Jakobsson’s research and academic interests are centered on computational studies of
membrane structure and transport, and on the use of computation in education. He is the Director and Principal Investigator of
the NIH National Center for the Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors. Jakobsson is a Fellow of the American Physical Society
in recognition of his work on ion and water permeation in channels. |
