2020 Computational Materials Science and Engineering Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
2020 Computational Materials Science and Engineering Gordon Research Conference. This proposal seeks ONR support for the 2020 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Computational Materials Science and Engineering, to be held at the GRC site Grand Summit Hotel in Newry, Maine, USA on August 2-7. This program is relevant to ONR~s Mission Capable, Persistent and Survivable Naval Platforms Department along with other efforts in materials science and engineering distributed amongst the other ONR departments, laboratories and warfare centers. This inaugural (and subsequently bi-annual) GRC will bring together young researchers and renown experts for several days of intense discussions on all key topics relevant to computational materials science and engineering (CMSE). We expect this GRC (1) to cross-pollinate ideas between disparate communities agglomerated within CMSE and to better connect engineers with scientists, (2) to promote the creation of testable scientific theories, algorithmic developments and data-centric platforms/methodologies, (3) to accelerate the growth of computational tools needed for materials simulations over multiple time and length scales covering both extant and emerging classes of materials, and (4) to provide graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, with nascent careers in a given scientific domain, the networking opportunities to interact with and learn from seasoned professionals from another discipline that is otherwise hard to achieve in standard discipline-based or society-driven conferences. The ambiance afforded by a traditional Gordon Research Conference is perfect for accomplishing these goals; it is a safe and intimate environment where dialog, debate and argument about what can and cannot be done across disciplines can take place.
