Conference Description
The Computational Materials Science and Engineering GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The goal of this year’s GRS will be to provide a forum to showcase recent advances in both methodological innovation and state-of-the-art applications, spanning length and time scales. There will be an emphasis on computational methods as well as AI tools for materials discovery and industrial applications, aligning with the focus of the 2026 Computational Materials Science and Engineering GRC. The two-day GRS aims to offer graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early career scientists a platform for presenting their recent works through posters or talks, receiving feedback from peers, exchanging ideas, and fostering collaborations. Together with the GRC, it will provide them with an opportunity to create a professional network with distinguished researchers from both academia and industry and receive guidelines about possible future career paths through mentorship programs.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by June 2, 2026. Please check back for updates.
