Dear VT/COM/IT member!
Nobel Prize Laureate, Professor Michael Levitt is visiting Sweden in early June, on
a very tight and ambitious schedule. Members of IEEE are cordially invited to attend
M. Levitt’s seminars, either in Umeå, Stockholm, or in Göteborg.
Prof. Levitt, affiliated with Stanford University ‘s School of Medicine, USA, is a
former IEEE member. He shared the prize in Chemistry in 2013 with Martin Karplus and
Arieh Warshel. The prize motivation was for the development of multi-scale models
for complex chemical systems. Prof. Levitt is the architect of computer simulation
methods which in many cases replace test tubes and clinical trials for development
of pharmaceuticals. For more on his work, please click here:

There are now three alternative ways how to attend prof. Levitt ‘s seminars.
Alternative 1 – A small private seminar at KTH, Stockholm, on June 6 at 14.00
IEEE Sweden Section has managed to arrange this seminar in cooperation with KTH at
