DATES: Monday 26 July, 2010 - Friday 06 Aug, 2010

VENUE : Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bengaluru

DESCRIPTION:
Venue: Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bengaluru

This program will be organized in two parts: (i) Conference: July 26 – 30 and (ii) School: Aug 1 - 6, 2010

Planned as a satellite to STATPHYS 24, the overall scope of the conference is the conceptual understanding of nucleation, aggregation and growth phenomena with applications of experimental, theoretical and computational techniques to a diverse range of physical, chemical and biological systems. To maximize the benefits of interaction among participants, the current program is organized around a few focus areas, viz. soft matter systems, biological assembly, mechanical behavior and non-equilibrium processes in solids. Nucleation, patterning, glass transition and gelation in colloidal suspensions, self assembly in macromolecular solids, active aggregation in biological systems, viral self assembly, protein crystallization, DNA assisted assembly, fracture and earthquakes, solid state nucleation and microstructures are some of the topics that will be represented. This conference is a sequel to the NAG2007 held at the JNCASR during Jan 29 - 31 2007

The conference is followed by a school addressing the broader theme of nucleation, aggregation and growth phenomena going beyond the specific themes of the conference.

ORGANIZERS: Organizing Committee, Surajit Sengupta. Convenors, Srikanth Sastry
