Conference: 2023 Physical Metallurgy Gordon Research Conference and Seminar

非技术总结会议支持请求的目的是使职业生涯早期的与会者和主要受邀演讲者能够参加2023年物理冶金戈登研究会议(GRC)，该会议在复杂、不同种类的应用中催化新方向和引发对金属科学和工程基本概念的批判性讨论有着悠久的历史。因此，物理冶金GRC正在成为冶金科学家和材料科学家的关键网络和社区建设活动，从研究生、博士后和其他早期职业科学家到高级科学家和工程师。戈登研究会议的独特形式包括在科学前沿的深入演讲和平等的讨论时间，鼓励所有与会者展示他们的工作的综合海报会议，以及非正式讨论会议和研讨会提供了一个论坛，探讨我们的科学理解并在社区成员之间分享专业知识。这一物理冶金GRC的副标题是“创造一个可持续世界的冶金问题”，反映了社区对国家科学基金会努力支持基础科学的原则的承诺，这将为子孙后代带来更可持续的未来。在GRC之前，将举行一个相关的戈登研究研讨会(GRS)，早期职业研究人员将在会上介绍和讨论他们的工作，并参与指导和职业发展活动。GRS将于2023年7月8日至9日举行，GRC将于2023年7月9日至14日在马萨诸塞州伊斯顿的斯通希尔学院举行。技术概述物理冶金行业面临的最紧迫的挑战和机遇之一在于我们有能力利用最新的科学进步对环境、经济和社会产生积极影响。社区必须学会以快速和可持续的方式设计、生产和实施金属和合金。与这些目标密切相关的是，有必要审查物理冶金领域，寻找基础科学和拟议技术的可持续性之间的交叉点。这次会议的研究目标是使社区能够探索加工、结构、性能和性能之间的复杂关系，这些关系是克服发现和实施可持续金属的严重障碍所必需的。需要在物理冶金方面取得进展，以便在轻量化、循环利用、极端环境、磁/能源和其他方面提出前瞻性的可持续性概念，本次会议的技术方法将侧重于实现这些目标所必需的基本科学基础(材料缺陷、热力学和动力学相互作用、微观结构)。此外，通过3D/4D高分辨率微结构探测器、新兴理论、计算模型和数据科学驱动的模拟、新的加工路径以及提供它们之间联系的测量和工具，正在使这些领域的新发现成为可能。GRC和GRS的口头和海报会议将为讨论基础科学、方法和工具以及新发现提供一个强有力的场所，预期的结果是提供一个利用物理冶金科学实现更可持续未来的愿景。会议的潜在影响将通过不同的结构金属研究社区的参与来体现，以利用会议的对话来加速先进材料的设计和开发。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Non-Technical SummaryThe purpose of the conference support request is to enable the participation of early career attendees and key invited speakers to the 2023 Physical Metallurgy Gordon Research Conference (GRC), which has a long history of catalyzing new directions and sparking critical discussions of fundamental concepts in the science and engineering of metals in complex, heterogeneous applications. As a result, the Physical Metallurgy GRC is become a key network- and community-building event for metallurgists and materials scientists, from graduate students, post-docs, and other early career scientists to senior scientists and engineers. The unique format of Gordon Research Conferences with in-depth presentations at the forefront of science with equal discussion time, integrated poster sessions where all attendees are encouraged present their work, and informal discussion sessions and workshops provides a forum to probe our scientific understanding and share expertise among the community members. This Physical Metallurgy GRC is subtitled “Metallurgy Matters for Creating a Sustainable World”, reflecting the community’s commitment to the principles of the National Science Foundation’s efforts to support fundamental science that will lead to a more sustainable future for generations to come. The GRC will be preceded by an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) where early career researchers present and discuss their work and participate in mentoring and career-building activities. The GRS will be held on July 8-9, 2023 and the GRC will be on July 9-14, 2023, at Stonehill College in Easton, MA. Technical SummaryOne of the most pressing challenges and opportunities for the physical metallurgy community lies in our ability to harness the latest scientific advances to have a positive impact on the environment, economy, and society. The community must learn to design, produce, and implement metals and alloys in a rapid and sustainable manner. Germane to these goals is the necessity to examine the field of physical metallurgy for intersections between fundamental science and the sustainability of proposed technologies. The research objective of this meeting is to enable the community to explore the complex relationships between processing, structure, property, and performance that are needed to overcome acute barriers to discovery and implementation of sustainable metals. Advances in physical metallurgy are needed to enable forward-looking sustainability concepts in light weighting, recycling, extreme environment, magnetic/energy and others, and technical approach for this meeting will be to focus on the fundamental scientific underpinnings (material defects, thermodynamics and kinetic interactions, microstructure) necessary to achieve these goals. Further, new discoveries in these domains are being enabled through 3D/4D high-resolution microstructure probes, emerging theories, computational models and data science-driven simulations, novel processing pathways, and the measurements and tools to provide connectivity between them. The oral and poster sessions at the GRC and GRS will provide a robust venue for discussion of the fundamental science, methods and tools, and new discoveries, with the anticipated outcome of providing a vision for using physical metallurgical sciences to enable a more sustainable future. The potential impact of the meeting will be represented through the engagement of the diverse structural metals research community to harness the dialogs of the meeting toward accelerating the design and development of advanced materials.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.
