The conference gathers an interdisciplinary community of scientists working on mathematical and computational aspects of materials science. The sessions will provide a forum for developments on:
- Analysis of moving interfaces
- Macroscopic consequences of microstructure
- Defects in materials
A second goal is to highlight recent accomplishments in:
- Materials design, synthesis and processing
- Simulation of phase transformation dynamics
- Growth and morphology of thin films
- Electromagnetic materials
A third goal is to identify promising directions for new developments of a mathematical or computational nature, in areas such as:
- Multiscale analysis of materials: from atomic to continuum
- Nanoscale structures
- Liquid crystals, glasses and polymers
- Soft materials and bio-materials
Materials science is an interdisciplinary subject. The conference welcomes scientists and mathematicians from a broad range of backgrounds, including for example, mechanics, physics, engineering, mathematical analysis, computational science and biology.
