2016 Granular Matter Gordon Research Conference: Particulate Systems in Science and Technology

本次研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，讨论颗粒材料研究的最新进展。颗粒材料在工业和自然系统中无处不在，但对许多现象的定量理解仍然难以捉摸，预测能力仍然有限。这一领域的进步需要多个科学和工程学科的参与，每个学科都有自己的目标和技术。NSF基金将用于支持参加2016年戈登颗粒和颗粒流体流动研究会议的初级和早期职业科学家和工程师的注册和旅费。还将提供支助，使代表性不足群体的成员能够参与。这样的支持将满足一个至关重要的国家需求，即继续培训粒子技术科学方面的未来劳动力。

This workshop will bring together researchers from around the world to discuss recent progress in the study of granular materials. Granular materials are ubiquitous in a range of industrial and natural systems, yet a quantitative understanding of many phenomena remains elusive and predictive capabilities remain limited. Advances in this field require the participation of multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, each of which has its own goals and techniques. NSF funds will be used to support the registration and travel costs for junior and early career scientists and engineers at the 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Granular and Granular-Fluid Flows. Support will also be provided to allow participation of members of underrepresented groups. Such support will fill a crucial, national need to continue to train the future work force in the science of particle technology.
