Materials Defects: Mathematics, Computation and Engineering

Month: September 2012

Date: September 10--December 14

Name: Materials Defects: Mathematics, Computation and Engineering

Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA, Los Angeles, California.


Description

Material defects prsent a huge challenge for mathematical modeling and simulation, as anything that breaks up the regular, homogenous structure of a calculation requires special consideration. In recent years, there has been particular focus on the multiscale nature of materials research-how computational methods and mathematical models for describing materials vary from the atomistic to the continuum scale. This program aims to promote collaboration among scientists to assess the current status of defect modeling, promote the development of new computational techniques, and stimulate new applications. An application is available online. Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications.
