Data-driven modelling of metallic materials across scales

This workshop will bring together researchers in mathematics, engineering, chemistry, and materials science, along with industrial and national-lab partners, to explore how data and mathematics can bridge scales in modelling metals — from molecular dynamics to microstructure evolution and large-scale forming.

The event will take place at Lancaster Castle in the historic city of Lancaster, and will feature invited talks, open discussions, and ample networking opportunities across the broadly construed UK materials modelling community.

Organisers: Maciej Buze (Lancaster) · Ed Brambley (Warwick) · Wei Wen (Lancaster)
