Student Support: 2022 Solid State Studies in Ceramics Gordon Research Conference: Coupled Phenomena in Ceramics Across Length Scales; South Hadley, Massachusetts; 7-12 August 2022

这项资助将用于支持研究生参加2022年固体陶瓷研究戈登研究会议的注册费，副标题为“陶瓷跨长度尺度的耦合现象”。副标题反映了捕捉陶瓷关键挑战的基础科学主题，特别是下一代工程材料制造的进步，在能源，航空航天，汽车和微电子等广泛领域的应用。会议将于2022年8月7日至12日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的霍利奥克山学院举行。会议的目的是将世界专家聚集在一起讨论陶瓷研究的前沿，以推进美国的研究和工程，并让研究生和早期职业人士接触到陶瓷科学的最新发现，以便他们可能成为明天的领导者。该基金旨在鼓励研究生，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的研究生，参与提高他们的工程和科学教育。陶瓷的许多最有趣和技术相关的特性源于耦合现象（机械、热、化学、电、磁、光学），这些现象起源于原子和纳米尺度，但在所有尺度上都表现出来。陶瓷在极端条件和/或远离平衡状态下的复杂行为，一方面带来了破译行为机制的挑战，另一方面也带来了创造具有前所未有性能的陶瓷的机会。先进制造业依赖于这些类型的科学进步。最近出现了各种各样的实验和理论工具，揭示了在加工和服务过程中控制材料行为的多物理、多尺度机制。这些具体包括数据驱动原子和介连续体计算建模方法的出现，新颖的原位实验和极端条件下的测量。先进制造是陶瓷未来的重要组成部分，将嵌入整个会议的各个环节。将明确讨论先进制造的会议包括在结构陶瓷和复杂结构加工中实现卓越反应。会议旨在通过汇集不同学科的专家来讨论最新的发现和进展，并确定该领域的发展方向，从而推动陶瓷领域的发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant will support the registration fee costs for graduate students to attend the 2022 Solid State Studies in Ceramics Gordon Research Conference, subtitled Coupled Phenomena in Ceramics Across Length Scales. The subtitle reflects basic science topics that capture the key challenges in ceramics, including in particular the advancement of manufacturing for the next generation of engineering materials, with applications in a wide variety of sectors from energy, aerospace, automotive and microelectronics. The conference will be held August 7 - 12, 2022 at Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The purpose of the conference is to bring world experts together to discuss the forefront of ceramics research to advance research and engineering in the United States and to expose graduate students and early career professionals to the latest findings in the science of ceramics so that they may become the leaders of tomorrow. The funding is meant to encourage graduate students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, to participate to enhance their engineering and science education. Many of the most interesting and technologically relevant properties of ceramics derive from coupled phenomena (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical) that originate at the atomistic and nanometer length scales, but manifest across all scales. The complex behavior of ceramics under extreme conditions and/or away from equilibrium leads, on the one hand, to challenges in deciphering behavioral mechanisms, and on the other, to opportunities to create ceramics with unprecedented properties. Advanced manufacturing depends on these types of scientific advances. A wide variety of experimental and theoretical tools have recently emerged to reveal multiphysical, multiscale mechanisms that govern material behavior during processing and service. These specifically include the emergence of data driven atomistic and mesocontinuum computational modeling approaches, novel in situ experiments, and measurements under extreme conditions. Advanced manufacturing is a critical part of the future of ceramics and will be embedded in sessions for the entire conference. Sessions that will explicitly address advanced manufacturing include Achieving Exceptional Responses in Structural Ceramics and Processing of Complex Structures. The conference is designed to advance the field of ceramics by bringing together experts across various disciplines to discuss the latest discoveries and advancements and define where the field will go.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
