Physical Metallurgy (GRS)

Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar

July 30 - 31, 2011
Chairs Maryam Ghazisaeidi and Jennifer L. Carter
Stonehill College
320 Washington Street
Easton, Massachusetts, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Physical Metallurgy 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 2011 GRS on physical metallurgy aims to survey the latest approaches in atomistic and microstructural modeling and experimental characterization of advanced metal systems. The seminar sessions will focus on how the state-of-the-art in these fields work in tandem to guide the development of metals processing for optimum performance.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Physical Metallurgy" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). 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.
