Biology For Materials Scientists and Engineers

Date: Sunday, Feb. 25
Organizers:
R.O. Ritchie, University of California, Berkeley
M.A. Meyers, University of California, San Diego
Andrea Hodge, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

This tutorial precedes the three-day symposium on biological materials science and is meant to bridge the gap between biology and materials.

These two disciplines have evolved separately with minimal intercommunication over the past fifty years. This tutorial will assist materials scientists and engineers to absorb the most significant concepts from biology and incorporate them into their own research.

Topics:

• Basic Building Blocks/Molecular Units
• Structures
• Biomineralization
• Hierarchy and Synergy in Biological Systems
• Mechanical Properties
• Fracture and Fatigue of Biological Materials
• Genetic Engineering
• Experimental Techniques
• Experimental Techniques in Single Cells and Molecular Biomechanics

ANSWER Tutorial Series: Neutron Scattering 101 for Structural Materials Researchers

Date and Time: Sunday, Feb. 25 • 1 to 5 p.m.

Instructors:

• Dr. Ian Anderson, Scientific Director, Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
• Dr. Mark Bourke, Deputy Group Leader, Neutron Science Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory
• Dr. Camden Hubbard, Group Leader, Diffraction and Thermophysical Properties Group, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
