Pressure is a variable that plays a key role in a large variety of phenomena that range from large scale effects at the interior of planets to small energy scale properties such as quantum critical behavior and a diversity of exotic phase transitions in, for instance, strongly correlated electron materials. With this kick-off conference we would like to bring together scientists working in this field and to provide a forum for intense discussion and examination of the most advanced aspects of the use of high pressure for the investigation of these phenomena.

Agenda

Join DMR Division Director Germano Iannacchione and DMR program directors for our monthly office hour and Q&A session.

The Rising Stars in Soft and Biological Matter Symposium, co-sponsored by UChicago and the University of California San Diego MRSECs, provides a platform for exceptional early-career soft matter, energy materials, and biological matter scientists to present their work. Symposium participants are selected based on a track record of research accomplishments.

The UChicago MRSEC pioneers frameworks for materials discovery, focusing on trainable soft materials, activated architectured materials with dynamic transport properties, and quantum transduction for integrated circuits.

The Harvard MRSEC focuses on unraveling complex phenomena in soft materials with the goal of translating these advances to benefit society.

I-MRSEC has a mission to perform fundamental, innovative research that supports technological applications in areas of societal need, while promoting interdisciplinary materials-focused education and training of students.
