PACAM 2013 (Houston) has some limited funds which will
be used to provide partial support to participants from the USA.  The financial support is provided by the
National Science Foundation and the University of Houston. The primary targets
of the travel scholarships are graduate students, post-docs and early career
researchers e.g. assistant professors. The deadline for receipt of the completed
scholarship application is 21st
February, 2013.

Dear Colleagues,

The description of the symposium is attached below.

The following speakers will contribute invited talks in the symposium: Yi Cui, William D. Nix, Martin Bazant, Brian Sheldon, Gleb Yushin, Scott Mao, Reiner Moenig, and Yue Qi

Dear Colleagues,

The Thirteenth
Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIII) will be held in
Houston, TX, USA. The conference dates are May 22-24th, 2013.

We cordially invite you to participate in Phononics 2013: The Second International Conference on Phononic Crystals/Metamaterials, Phonon Transport and Optomechanics – to be held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from June 2–7, 2013. The conference covers the following themes:

(1) phononic crystals, (2) acoustic metamaterials, (3) wave propagation in periodic structures, (4) nanoscale phonon transport, and (5) optomechanics.
