The Gordon Research Seminar on Physical Metallurgy is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

Advances in physical metallurgy have the potential to transform a wide range of advanced engineering systems; however, to have impact, these alloys must by processed into useful engineered objects with properties that are precisely controlled. Understanding the processing-structure relationship is a key component in the development of new materials and the advancement of mature systems. The focus of this meeting is the development of experimental methodologies and computational tools which examine the evolution of material structure during processing and inform predictive relationships.
