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 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.
