📢 CONTRABASS Secondment Update! 

We’re happy to share that Aden Rana (DC7) has started his secondment this week at University of Bourgogne – CNRS, under the guidance of Christophe Labbez 🇫🇷🔬 

During his stay in Dijon, Aden will explore the coarse-graining method—a powerful simulation approach that simplifies complex systems by grouping atoms or molecules into larger units (“beads”). This significantly reduces computational cost while retaining essential behavior. 💻🧪 

This experience will help him scale up his current work and apply it to more complex systems. He will also collaborate with DC3, Jeswin Jiji, who is currently pursuing his PhD at University of Bourgogne. 

Enjoy your time in Dijon, Aden—wishing you a productive and insightful secondment! 🙌
