About the Conference
Description
The conference gathers an interdisciplinary group working on the development and application of sound mathematical and computational methods in the scientific study and practical exploitation of materials. The conference provides a forum to highlight the progress in a broad range of areas of current technological interest. In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of materials science, the conference welcomes scientists and mathematicians from diverse backgrounds, including for example, mechanics, physics, engineering, mathematical analysis, computational science and biology.
