GOMD 2025 Symposia
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.
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.
SYMPOSIUM 3: Optical and electronic materials and devices- Fundamentals and applications
Optical and electronic materials and devices are of critical importance for various 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.
SYMPOSIUM 4: Outreach (Joint with PACRIM)
SYMPOSIUM 5: Glass manufacturing
Glass can be engineered with a wide range of properties and in many different forms for both active and passive applications for current and emerging energy and environmental technologies. This symposium will draw an arc from the fundamental approaches (interplay of theory, modeling and experiment) via material properties (compositional influences and signatures) and their characterization (in-situ, ex-situ) to manufacturing (novel processing techniques). A further important component of this symposium is a session on outreach because such a discussion will allow the field to attract a substantial pool of future researchers on glass science.
