GOMD 2022 Technical Program
SYMPOSIUM 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF THE GLASSY STATE
This symposium will provide a discussion forum on fundamental principles of glass science. Contributions covering experimental and theoretical developments in the field of glass science are welcome. Topics of interest include novel developments in the following sessions.
- Glass Formation and Structural Relaxation
- Glass Crystallization and Glass-Ceramics
- Structural Characterizations of Glasses
- Topology and Rigidity
- Atomistic Simulation and Predictive Modeling of Glasses
- Data-based Modeling and Machine Learning for Glass Science
- Mechanical Properties of Glasses
- Non-Oxide Glasses and Glass-Ceramics
- Glass Under Extreme Conditions
SYMPOSIUM 2: GLASS AND INTERACTIONS WITH ITS ENVIRONMENT — FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS
This symposium is dedicated to fundamentals and applications of how glass is used in contact with specific environments, e.g., with the human body, how glass surface and interfaces evolve or can be modified in different environments, and how glass can be used to contain other materials and prevent their release in the environment.
- Glasses and Glass-ceramics for Healthcare
- Nuclear Waste Immobilization
- Dissolution and Interfacial Reactions
- Surfaces and Coatings
SYMPOSIUM 3: OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES — FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS
Optical and electronic materials and devices are of critical importance for applications, including sustainable energy, information technology, nonvolatile memory, sensing, medical diagnostics and treatment, and national defense. This symposium will address processing and properties of optical and electronic materials as well as design, fabrication, and performance of functional devices.
- Laser Interactions with Glasses
- Charge and Energy Transport in Disordered Materials
- Optical Fibers and Waveguides
- Glass-based Optical Devices and Detector Applications
- Optical and Photonic Glass and Glass-Ceramics
SYMPOSIUM 4: GLASS TECHNOLOGY AND
CROSS-CUTTING TOPICS
Glass technology and manufacture and the constant progresses in its different aspects play a key role in our society, and presents its own set of challenges and innovations, from the raw materials to the melt, from glass furnaces to the sustainability of the process, and from traditional forming processes to new techniques such as glass 3D printing. This symposium welcomes papers on these topics in the following sessions:
- Sol-gel Processing of Glasses and Ceramic Materials
- Challenges in Glass Manufacturing
- 3D-printing of Glass
GOMD 2022 STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Poster session and student poster competition
As part of the tradition at GOMD 2022, students are invited to present their work as part of the GOMD student poster competition Best posters will be rewarded with cash awards. Poster abstracts should be submitted under the session topic most closely related to the research described in the abstract.
Career networking event
Students and early career professionals attending GOMD 2022 are invited to attend a career networking event in which they will have the opportunity to network with professionals from industry, academia, and national labs to ask questions on diverse topics (work-life balance, career opportunities, etc.). in a casual environment.
