Quasicrystals: Pattern Formation and Aperiodic Order

 04 - 08 Jun 2018

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

Scientific Organisers:

  • Andrew Archer, University of Lougborough
  • Uwe Grimm, Open University
  • Alastair Rucklidge, University of Leeds
  • Priya Subramanian, University of Leeds

About:

The central aim of this workshop was to bring together four different research communities to understanding quasicrystals (QCs) and aperiodic order: QCs in materials science, QCs in soft matter, QCs in partial differential equations and QCs in aperiodic tilings. Moreover, the workshop capitalised on recent progress by giving researchers a forum to discuss how different approaches can be most effectively combined to tackle and solve the big open problems in the field.

Further objectives and Speakers

  • Share current state of knowledge from the communities working in different but related fields

  • Share open problems and discuss what approaches might be transferable to attack these

  • Initiate joint projects between participants

  • Convene a subgroup of participants to prepare a joint survey article (or a collection of articles) presenting the state of the art

  • Discuss and plan potential public engagement activities

  • Discuss and plan further workshops and meetings to build on outcome of the workshop

  • Discuss funding opportunities for joint research projects.
