Conference on Multiscale Effects in Material Microstructures and Defects

提议：DMS-0334828PI：Michel E.Jabbour[Jabbour@ms.uky.edu]机构：肯塔基大学标题：材料微观结构和缺陷的多尺度效应会议摘要在过去几十年里，在理解微观结构和缺陷对一大类具有重要技术意义的材料宏观性能的影响方面取得了很大进展。这次会议的目标是聚集数学家、工程师和科学家，研究与材料的微结构和缺陷有关的分析和计算问题，以及一般的多尺度建模技术。本次会议将为知名研究人员、新近获得博士学位的S和高级研究生提供一个互动交流、分享新想法并可能启动新合作的机会。本次会议的组织者旨在吸引一大批高级研究生和新近获得博士学位的S。会议的重点还包括确保女性研究人员和学生的积极参与，以努力促进代表不足的群体的参与。演讲摘要和公开讨论会议的摘要(将在该会议上讨论新的研究方向)将发布在会议的网页上。

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.
