[20160717] 2016 High Pressure Gordon Research Conference and Seminar, Holderness, NH (USA)
The 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Research at High Pressure will be held on July 17-22, 2016 at the Holderness School in Holderness, NH, chaired by Prof. Shanti Deemyad and Dr. Jon Eggert. High pressure provides the largest-range tunable thermodynamic variable over which to study material properties. Applications span physics, biology, chemistry, and earth and planetary sciences, as well as food processing and material synthesis. This conference aims to assemble a wide range of scientists, both experimental and theoretical, from across the associated disciplines to share new research discoveries, discuss collaborations, and plan the future.
Prior to the conference, July 16-17, there will be an associated High Pressure Gordon Research Seminar for students and early career scientists, which is chaired by Dr. Richard Kraus and Dr. Amalia Fernandez-Panella. This seminar will highlight the importance of the wide-ranging timescales of our techniques, from picosecond quantum molecular dynamic calculations, to nanosecond laser driven shocks, to microsecond gas gun shots, and to seconds of integration in static diamond anvil cells. Representatives of students and early career scientists (less than 5 years from completion of their PhD) will present unpublished results from the many fields in high-pressure research in an environment that aims for collaboration and interaction between the fields and techniques.
Applications must be submitted by June 18, 2016. Please apply early as the meeting can be oversubscribed. The associated URL’s for the conference and seminar are below.
