About this Symposium

The symposium welcomes contributions that reflect the broad scope of his research, including but not limited to:
● Microstructure-Sensitive Design (MSD): The use of analytical and computational methods to understand and design materials with specific properties and performance, particularly those involving statistical descriptions of microstructure. Presentations on novel statistical descriptions of microstructure themselves are also of interest.
● Advanced Characterization Techniques: Research utilizing electron-based techniques such as Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and High-Resolution EBSD (HR-EBSD) to quantify and model deformation, dislocation accumulation, and twinning.
● Computational and Experimental Mechanics: Work that integrates computational materials modeling (e.g. crystal plasticity, atomistic simulations) with experimental validation to understand the mechanical behavior of materials.
● Multiscale Analysis of Deformation: Studies that bridge different length scales to understand how behavior at the atomic and microstructural level influences macroscopic properties like ductility and fracture.

Special consideration will be given to submissions that reflect Professor Fullwood's contributions as a foundation for our technical understanding and ongoing developments in these areas.
