International Symposium on Advances in Metallurgy
Introduction
This symposium is to provide a platform to researchers, engineers and students working in metallurgy and related disciplines to meet and exchange recent findings and ideas in metallurgy. It will address alloy design, fabrication (such as additive manufacturing), microstructure control and property engineering, to material characterisation and multi-scale modelling. The aim is to enhance material performance and ensure the safety of metallic materials in a range of applications from infrastructure for sustainable futures to critical components in power plants, automobiles and aerospace.
Programme Outline
Day 1
Celebrate outstanding contributions made by Prof. Fionn Dunne in crystal plasticity modelling and micro-mechanics to advancing our fundamental understanding in metallurgy, and enhancing the performance and safety of metallic systems.
Day 2
Cover broadly topics in metallurgy with focuses on alloy design, solidification, additive manufacturing, material degradation, materials for nuclear energy, characterisation and sustainability in metallurgy.
Location and Venue
The symposium will take place in the Royal School of Mines (RSM), Imperial College London in South Kensington, London. The location is well connected by public transportation. The RSM is about 10 minutes on foot from the South Kensington station that is served by three underground lines: Circle, District and Piccadilly. The Piccadilly line is a service directly connecting the Heathrow airport to the South Kensington.
Accommodation
There are a number of accommodation options close to the symposium. On campus accommodation is available, which can be booked here.
Registration
Fee (no accommodation) to participate in all sessions, coffee breaks, lunches, and the banquet dinner (3rd July):
- £100 for PhD holders and participants from industry.
