We are organizing the symposium on "Computational Thermodynamics and kinetics" at the next TMS meeting to be held in San Diego from February 26- March 2, 2017.
Topics of choice for this year include, but are not limited to:
Advancements in computational techniques in thermodynamics and kinetics of defects, phase transformations, and microstructural evolution.
Multiscale modeling and experimental validation of thermodynamics and kinetics, particularly associated with environmentally assisted fracture, i.e., corrosion, oxidation, grain boundary segregation and embrittlement.
Computational modeling and experimental validation of processes driven by interfaces and grain boundaries.
We are honored to have the following confirmed invited speakers:
David J. Srolovitz (UPenn), Jörg Weissmüller (Hamburg University of Technology), Michael Demkowicz (TAMU), Yuri Mishin (George Mason University), Elizabeth Holm (Carnegie Mellon University), Mark Asta (UC Berkeley), Fadi Abdeljawad (Sandia National Laboratories), Timofey Frolov (Lawrence Livermore National Lab), Chris Wolverton (Northwestern), Bilge Yildez (MIT), Saryu Fensin (LANL), Christine Geers (Chalmers Technical University)
We look forward to your contributions to this symposium which is a continuation of a successful long-standing series. Please submit your abstract in the TMS website http://www.programmaster.org/PM/PM.nsf/UpcomingSymposia/7C230890E932C4F… by the submission deadline (currently July 1, 2016).
