Conference on Multiscale Effects in Material Microstructures and Defects

提案：DMS-0334828 PI：Michel E. [jabbour@ms.uky.edu]机构：University of Bucky标题：材料微观结构和缺陷的多尺度效应会议摘要在过去的几十年里，在理解微观结构和缺陷对广泛的一类重要技术材料的宏观性能的影响方面取得了很大进展。 本次会议的目标是汇集数学家，工程师和科学家，他们致力于与材料和多尺度建模技术中的微观结构和缺陷相关的分析和计算问题。 这次会议将提供一个机会，建立研究人员，最近的博士。和高级研究生互动，分享新的想法，并可能启动新的合作。 这次会议的组织者旨在吸引大量的高级研究生和最近的博士。's. 还强调确保女性调查员和学生的积极参与，以促进代表性不足的群体的参与。 会议的网页上将登载所发表的演讲摘要和公开讨论会的摘要（讨论新的研究方向）。

Proposal: DMS-0334828PI: Michel E. Jabbour [jabbour@ms.uky.edu]Institution: University of KentuckyTitle: Conference on Multiscale Effects in Material Microstructures and DefectsABSTRACTMuch progress has been made over the past several decades in understanding the effects of microstructures and defects on the macroscopic properties of a wide class of technologically important materials. The goal of this conference is to bring together mathematicians, engineers, and scientists working on analytical and computational problems related to microstructures and defects in materials and multiscale modeling techniques in general. The conference will provide an opportunity for established researchers, recent Ph.D.'s, and advanced graduate students to interact, share novel ideas, and possibly initiate new collaborations. The organizers of this conference aim at attracting a large pool of advanced graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s. Emphasis has also been placed on ensuring the active presence of female investigators and students in an effort to promote the participation of underrepresented groups. Abstracts of delivered talks and a summary of the open discussion session (in which new directions of research will be discussed) will be posted on the conference's web page.
