Fourth International Congress on 3D Materials Science (3DMS 2018); Helsingor (Elsinore), Denmark; June 10-13, 2018

国际三维材料科学大会(3DMS)是介绍有关三维表征、可视化、定量分析、建模和研究材料之间的结构和结构-性能关系的最新进展的主要论坛。第四届国际三维材料科学大会(3DMS 2018)将汇聚研究人员、专业人士和工程师，并为演讲、讨论和联网提供多种环境。这种氛围将促进参加会议的实验者、建模师以及计算和图像处理专家之间的丰富互动。3DMS社区内的研究历史上促进了材料科学和工程应用的重大进步。3DMS 2018是这一领域的领导者展示研究、与同行互动并举行重要讨论的环境，以继续推进3DMS研究的状况。主办方的目标是确保高质量的会议具有强大的国际影响力，并旨在突出全球范围内3DMS研究的重要进展。与以往的3DMS大会一样，非常鼓励学生参与，让学生接触到这一领域的最新进展。这笔助学金将用于支付学生、博士后和年轻教师的旅费、学生海报会议和奖项，以及其他行政费用。本次会议向所有感兴趣的个人开放，并将试图提供尽可能先进的技术会议，与会者来自研发、工业和教育专业。3DMS领域使材料表征发生了革命性的变化，并使3D微观结构的检验和建模成为可能，这对于理解和预测材料加工-结构-性能关系至关重要。与以往的活动一样，所有材料课程都将被视为大会的一部分。金属材料从3D表征、分析和建模中受益匪浅，这一领域的研究将与聚合物、陶瓷和复合材料等其他材料类别一起展示。会议头两天的技术会议将同时举行，在全体会议邀请主旨发言人举行全体会议之后，将举行两次有关主题的会议。大会的最后一天也将利用平行会议，但全体会议将在这次技术会议之后举行，以结束会议。这种形式提供了信息广度与讨论深度和互动机会之间的最佳平衡。所有类型的研究机构(学术界、政府和工业研究实验室)都将派代表参加。这次会议向所有感兴趣的个人开放，与会者包括来自学术研究、工业和教育专业的代表，包括高级和初级调查人员、博士后实习生和学生。本次国际大会计划的四个主要主题领域包括：3D材料模拟、建模和表征的方法；3D数据处理和重建算法；3D过程-微观结构-属性关系；以及3D材料动力学。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。

The International Congress on 3D Materials Science (3DMS) is the premier forum for presenting research regarding the newest advances in three-dimensional characterization, visualization, quantitative analysis, modeling, and investigation into the structure and structure-property relationships among materials. The Fourth International Congress on 3D Materials Science (3DMS 2018) will bring together researchers, professionals, and engineers and provide multiple settings for presentation, discussion, and networking. This atmosphere will facilitate rich interactions between the experimentalists, modelers, and computational and image processing experts who attend. Research within the 3DMS community has historically given rise to significant advances in materials science and engineering applications. 3DMS 2018 is the environment for leaders in this field to showcase research, interact with peers, and hold important discussions to continue to advance the state of 3DMS research. It is the goal of the organizers to ensure a high-quality conference that holds a strong international presence and aims to highlight the important advances in 3DMS research on a global scale. As with previous 3DMS congresses, student participation is greatly encouraged to give students exposure to recent advances in this field. This grant will support student, postdoc, and young faculty travel; the student poster session and awards; and other administrative costs. This meeting is open to all interested individuals and will attempt to provide the most advanced technical meeting possible, with a mixture of attendees from research and development, industry, and education professions. The field of 3DMS has revolutionized materials characterization and has enabled the examination and modeling of 3D microstructures, which is critical to understanding and predicting materials processing-structure-property relationships. As with previous iterations of the event, all materials classes will be considered as part of the congress. Metallic materials have greatly benefitted from 3D characterization, analysis, and modeling and research in this area will be presented along with additional materials classes such as polymers, ceramics, and composites. Technical sessions on the first two days of the conference will run in parallel, with two sessions on related topics following an all-conference plenary session of invited keynote speakers. The final day of the conference will also utilize parallel sessions, but the plenary session will follow the technical sessions this time, to close out the conference. This format provides the optimum balance of breadth of information with depth of discussion and interaction opportunities. All types of research institutions (academia, government, and industrial research laboratories) will be represented. This meeting is open to all interested individuals, with a mixture of attendees from academic research, industry and educational professions, representing both senior and junior investigators, post-doctoral trainees and students. The four overarching topical areas planned for this international congress include: methods for materials simulation, modeling, and characterization in 3D; 3D data processing and reconstruction algorithms; process-microstructure-property relationships in 3D; and materials dynamics in 3D.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.
