Marseille Winter School on Multiscale Porous Materials, Edition 2016, 25-29 Jan 2016, Polytech Luminy

The fourth edition of the Marseille Winter School on Multi-Scale Porous Materials for Energy and Environment is to be held at Aix Marseille University Luminy campus ESIL-Polytech school of Engineering fromMonday Jan 25th till Friday Jan 29th 2016.

Please note that the theme for this edition is nuclear (fusion/fission) energy in relation with Multi-Scale Porous Materials. MSW series is officially part of the MIT curriculum for graduate studies.

Here the set of lectures given by first class scientists covering the different aspects of material science and engineering applied to complex materials :

HENRI VAN DAMME (UMI , CNRS/MIT, Cambridge US) : Multi-Scale Porous Materials for Energy and
Environment, setting up the stage

BERNARD BIGOT (ITER, Cadarache, France) : The ITER Project

EDO BOEK (U. of Cambridge, UK) : Statistical Mechanics and Atomistic Simulations

ALAIN BARONNET (CINAM, AMU, France) : Electron mMcroscopy for Multi-Scale Porous Materials, methods
FRANZ ULM (MIT, Cambridge US) : Mechanics of Multi-Scale Porous Materials, from elasticity to fracture : modeling and experiment

JOHN WILLIAMS (MIT, Cambridge US) : Meso-Scale Modeling of Particles : from bulk to flow
properties in confined geometry

EMANUELA DEL GADO (Georgetown U. Washington, US) : Soft Matter Physics ; Glass Physics, jamming
transition and arrested dynamics, insights for numerical simulations

JÉRÉMIE BERTHONNEAU (UMI , CNRS/MIT, Cambridge US) : Electron Microscopy for Multi-scale Porous
Materials, application to clays, cement, shale-gas…

ALICE DUFRESNE (UMI , CNRS/MIT, Cambridge US) : Materials for Nuclear Energy.

JEAN PIERRE KORB (LPMC, CNRS/Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France)

TIMM WEITKAMP (Synchroton SOLEIL, Paris) : Tomography with Synchrotron light and the texture
of multiscale porous materials
PIERRE LEVITZ (PHENIX, CNRS/UPMC, Paris : Multi-scale Porous and colloidal materials, texture
and transport properties

HUBER KLEIN (CINAM, AMU, France) : Pre-course on numerical methods

As for the previous editions, there is no fee for participating to MWS2016 and we take charge of lunches for all participants. But traveling and accommodations remain on the organisation of every participants.

If you are attending MWS2016, you HAVE to register (so that we can have a head count of participants) at the following address (before Jan 15 2016) :
