Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is on extending the field of nonlinear chemistry into research areas such as synthetic biology, developmental biology, materials science, chemical engineering, and machine learning, with an emphasis on potential applications.

We invite interested researchers to submit abstracts for poster and oral presentations.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
