(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2024-12-19)The excitation of molecules by the absorption of photons has wide applicability, for instance in sensitizers and photocatalysts for systems driven by energy carried by light. A key issue is how the energy is then distributed and how the atomic structure ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, 2025-01)The design of Deep Learning (DL) models is a complex task, involving decisions on the general architecture of the model (e.g., the number of layers of the Neural Network (NN)) and on the optimization algorithms (e.g., the learning rate). These so-called ...
