Symposium on Modeling and Theory Driven Design of Soft Materials (Boston, MA, Nov. 29-Dec. 4, 2015)

主要研究者：Dutt，Meenakshi提案编号：1542276机构：材料研究学会标题：软材料建模和理论驱动设计研讨会（波士顿，MA，11月29日？2015年12月4日）该提案寻求资金，以部分支持出席（包括登记、旅行和生活费）（初级教师，博士后研究人员，研究生和本科生）和部分注册支持受邀发言人的研讨会“建模和理论驱动的软材料设计”，将在波士顿，马萨诸塞州，2015年11月29日至12月4日期间。 本次研讨会的动机是软材料的重要性日益增加？这些材料包括聚合物、胶体、泡沫、凝胶、复合材料、仿生材料和功能性有机-无机结构，它们的主要物理行为发生在室温附近。2杰出的和年轻的科学家都将参加这次研讨会。研讨会的目的是汇集来自学术界，工业界和联邦实验室的研究人员，他们正在探索模拟和理论，以探索和验证合成和有机软材料的设计，以传播该领域的最新发展沿着教育下一代年轻科学家。组织者将通过优先考虑为妇女和代表性不足的少数群体研究人员提供旅行、生活和登记支助来鼓励参与。

PI: Dutt, MeenakshiProposal Number: 1542276 Institution: Materials Research SocietyTitle: Symposium on Modeling and Theory Driven Design of Soft Materials (Boston, MA, Nov 29 ? Dec 4, 2015)The proposal seeks funds to partially support the attendance (which includes the registration, travel and subsistence) of early career scientists (junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students) and partial registration support for the invited speakers to the symposium "Modeling and Theory Driven Design of Soft Materials," to be held at Boston, MA, between Nov. 29 and Dec. 4, 2015. This symposium is motivated by the growing importance of soft materials ? these encompass a wide range of materials, such as polymers, colloids, foams, gels, composites, bioinspired materials, and functional organic-inorganic structures, whose predominant physical behavior occurs around room temperature.The symposium will be attended by both prominent and young scientists. The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers from academia, industry and federal laboratories who are exploring both simulation and theory to explore and validate the design of synthetic and organic soft materials to enable the dissemination of state-of-art developments in the field along with educating the next generation of young scientists. The organizers will encourage the participation by prioritizing the travel, subsistence and registration support for women and underrepresented minority researchers.
