SoMaS Summer School 2018: Scientific Programme
LECTURES, RESEARCH SEMINARS AND TUTORIALS
Every lecture (3 hours altogether) will be illustrated by two research seminars and a tutorial during which the young researchers shall explore the topic more deeply with the lecturer after having gone through his/her lecture.
Preliminary Programme
To wet or not to wet—that is the question Jürgen Rühe Jianjun Xu |
Nonlinear rheology of colloidal suspensions Thomas Voigtmann ♦ From shear thinning to shear thickening: flow phenomena in suspensions
Research Seminars Spontaneous symmetry breaking out of equilibrium: Kibble-Zurek mechanism in colloidal monolayers Peter Keim Matthias Ballauff |
Structure formation and transformation in soft matter Marcus Müller ♦ Continuum models, free-energy landscape and collective kinetics
Research Seminars Driving non-equilibrium processes in biological soft materials H. Jelger Risselada Murugappan Muthukumar |
Polymer dynamics and applications to additive manufacturing Peter D. Olmsted ♦ Dynamics of unentangled and entangled polymers

POSTER SESSIONS
All students shall present a poster during the poster sessions. The posters will be put up at the beginning and will be displayed for the whole time of the school. Regarding the poster sessions please send an abstract (one page) presenting the results and the main questions of your research project and the strategies to solve them.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Dear Summer School participants, We invite you all to our session Career pathways in academia and industry on Sunday evening at 6 pm at the bar in the Centre de Mittelwihr. It will be a welcome reception with aperitif in an informal and relaxed setting. Two PhD students will moderate the session as chairs. Our two speakers (Jianjun Xu as representative of industry and Jürgen Rühe as representative of academia) will shortly present their career paths. Then the audience can ask the speakers directly their individual questions. Finally the session may lead to an open discussion. We look forward to an inspiring session and a fruitful discussion with you! Career Session with IRTG Alumni IRTG alumni meeting Career Seminar Presentation skills for doctoral students Matthias Mayer In this workshop we will focus on three relevant aspects of scientific presentation: Some of the participants will give short presentations in front of the plenum. This will be followed by work in small groups, where each participant can present his/her talk and give feedback. There will be the opportunity for all participants to get feedback from the coach and the plenum on their own presentation style. |
