The Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems 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.
Our seminar is at the leading edge of innovation, a confluence of groundbreaking advances in both fundamental understanding and potential applications. Incorporating both experimental and theoretical perspectives, we explore the intriguing field of self-organization in nonlinear systems. As we make our way through this interdisciplinary domain, we will shed light on the complex interplay of elements that define self-organization, while outlining strategies for translating these phenomena into artificial constructs, including synthetic cells.
Furthermore, another aspect is to extend the nonlinear chemistry utilizing as central to other research areas such as synthetic biology, developmental biology, earth science, materials science, computational science, chemical engineering, and machine learning. The following topics relating to self-organization in nonlinear systems emerging under far–from–equilibrium conditions are proposed (but are not limited to): dynamic molecular assembly/disassembly, metastable crystallization, homochiralization, spatial pattern formation, chemo-hydrodynamic instabilities, oscillatory behaviors, synchronization phenomena, active matters, and collective behaviors. The interdisciplinary nature of this meeting both fosters exchange between young experimentalists from different disciplines and brings together theoretical and applied young researchers to promote forming a global community and innovation.
We invite interested researchers to submit abstracts for poster and oral presentations.
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by April 7, 2024. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
