Conference Description
The Physical Metallurgy 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.
Characterization techniques have been instrumental in determining the relationship between microstructure and the properties of metals and alloys. Recently, these techniques have become more sophisticated giving researchers better insight into structure-property relationships and facilitating precise processing for specific applications. This meeting will focus on engaging early career scientists in discussing developments in materials characterization techniques that are used for studying complex metallurgical phenomena. Topics will include: methods for identifying the role of defects and solutes on material properties; in-situ and in-operando microscopy and spectrometry; and characterizing materials under extreme conditions. 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 mentorship session. With a diverse audience from multiple countries, areas of expertise, and career paths, this GRS provides a special opportunity to highlight unique work at the intersection of characterization and metallurgy and to connect perspectives across the community. We encourage all GRS attendees to also register for the accompanying GRC.
