2022 Computational Materials Science and Engineering Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
Within Materials Science and Engineering, there exist semi-isolated programs; ceramists infrequently interact with metallurgists and both of those communities rarely interact with polymer scientists. In terms of Computational Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE), we also find the underpinning theories, algorithms and computational protocols evolved independently to address science questions and engineering needs for their own communities. This situation is untenable for the agile and fast-paced development of theories and algorithms needed by the materials science and engineering community. The scientific objectives of this conference are: (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 method used to accomplish these objectives is to bring together leading researchers in the different sub-disciplines of MSE to compare, contrast and share extant theories, algorithms and computational protocols. The ambiance afforded by a traditional Gordon Research Conference is perfect for accomplishing this; it is a safe and intimate environment where dialog, debate and argument can take place about what can and what cannot be done across disciplines. This proposal seeks ARO support for the 2022 Computational Materials Science and Engineering Gordon Research Conference, to be held at the GRC site Grand Summit Hotel in Newry, Maine, USA on July 31 Ð August 5, 2022.
