Conference Description
The Solid State Studies in Ceramics 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 2024 meeting, "Bridging the Nanoscale and the Macroscale: Microstructural Origins of Engineered Properties in Ceramics", will focus on engaging early career scientists in discussions around ceramic material design and the role of microstructural mechanisms in engineering materials properties. The seminar will bring together nano- and macroscale processes to build unique insights on the cutting edge of ceramics engineering. The seminar will include a broad range of topics with particular focus on new understanding in grain growth and microstructural evolution; the role of defects, such as dislocations and grain boundaries, on material properties; microstructure engineering; and novel characterization methods. Both application-driven and fundamental studies will be explored with the aim of fostering creative insights to direct novel research within the field.
The seminar will consist of talks, poster sessions, and a career panel. With a diverse audience from multiple countries, areas of expertise, and career paths, this GRS provides a special opportunity to highlight unique work within ceramics research and connect with a variety of perspectives across the ceramics community. We encourage all GRS attendees to also register for the accompanying GRC.
