Virginia Soft Matter (VSM) Workshop brings together researchers working on the science of soft matter, including but not limited to polymers, complex fluids, biophysics, biomaterials, and granular matter, for an informal meeting to communicate cutting-edge research, exchange ideas and foster collaborations. There will be a mix of invited talks, brief contributed sound bites, and unstructured time.
The first VSM Workshop was held on the campus of James Madison University on February 11, 2014 (organized by Prof. Klebert Feitosa and sponsored by the 4-VA Consortium). The second VSM workshop was held on the campus of Virginia Tech on October 4th, 2014 (organized by Profs. Shengfeng Cheng, James Hanna, Sunny Jung, Michel Pleimling, and Uwe Tauber). The third (current) workshop is organized by Prof. David Green and Prof. Geoffrey Geise and will be held on the campus of University of Virginia on November 14th, 2015. In the future the VSM workshop will rotate amongst Virginia institutions on an annual basis. We are looking for volunteers that are willing to organize future events.
VSM Workshop will not charge registation fees and will provide free breakfast/coffee-break/lunch.
