Conference on Emerging Trends in Variational Models of Materials

关于“材料变分模型的新兴趋势”的会议将于2023年6月26日至30日在蒙特利尔大学附属的数学模拟研究中心（CRM）举行。这次会议代表了世界上许多在材料科学数学分析方面的顶尖研究人员的集合。进一步了解材料在暴露于外部应力、磁场或电场或温度变化时的行为，使我们能够设计出更有效的设备，并适应自然界中发现的自然波动。对于数学家来说，这意味着要制定和分析越来越复杂的数学模型。本次会议的演讲者和与会者在国际上享有声誉，是这一科学领域的高效研究者。本次会议将为美国研究生和博士后水平的年轻研究人员提供丰富的经验，他们可以通过美国国家科学基金会的资助参加会议并与顶尖科学家互动。本次会议研究的广泛主题包括模式形成、相变、动力学和软物质系统的控制，包括液晶、铁磁体和超导体。同样突出的将是与自组装和多粒子相互作用的集体行为相关的主题，如生物群和颗粒介质，以及图像处理和耗散流。这些问题起源于物理学、材料科学和生物学，不断重塑当代数学研究。除了应用数学家之外，还将有一位液晶研究领域的领先实验家和应用于材料科学的科学计算领域的顶级专家发表演讲。有关该活动的信息可在https://sites.google.com/view/varmodmat23/homeThis上找到，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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The conference on "Emerging Trends in Variational Models of Materials" will be held June 26-30, 2023, at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM) affiliated with the University of Montreal. The meeting represents the convergence of many of the world's top researchers in the mathematical analysis of materials science. Furthering our understanding of how materials behave when exposed to external stresses, magnetic or electric fields, or temperature variation allows us to design more effective devices and to adapt to the natural fluctuations found in nature. For mathematicians, this translates into formulating and analyzing more and more sophisticated mathematical models. The speakers and attendees of this meeting have international reputations as highly effective investigators of this realm of science. This conference will provide a rich experience for young researchers at the graduate and post-doctoral level in the United States who through NSF funding can attend and interact with leading scientists.The wide-ranging topics under investigation at this conference include pattern formation, phase transitions, dynamics, and control of soft matter systems, including liquid crystals, ferromagnets, and superconductors. Also featuring prominently will be topics related to self-assembly and collective behavior of many-particle interactions such as biological swarms and granular media, along with image processing and dissipative flows. These problems, originating from physics, materials science, and biology, constantly reshape contemporary mathematical research. In addition to applied mathematicians, there will be talks presented by a leading experimentalist in liquid crystal research and top experts in scientific computation as it applies to materials science.
