von Neumann Symposia

The AMS von Neumann Symposia are made possible by the generous support of a fund established
by Dr. and Mrs. Carrol V. Newsom in honor of the memory of John von Neumann.

2011

AMS Von Neumann Symposium on Multimodel and Multialgorithm Coupling for Multiscale Problems

Organized by John B. Bell (chair), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Alejandro L. Garcia, San Jose State University; and Francis Alexander, Los Alamos National Laboratory. Multiscale problems are of increasing importance in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry, fluid dynamics, environmental science, materials science, geophysics, and all branches of engineering. The symposium will bring groups together in four key areas (fluids, solids, earth sciences, and molecular dynamics) and will enable applied mathematicians and scientists to discuss current practices and future research directions in the development of hybrid methodologies for multiscale phenomena. Full announcement and application procedures can be found here. View poster here.
