With as many as nine live presentations, Skoltech researchers stole the show at the 13th International Conference on Key Engineering Materials (ICKEM 2023) hosted by Istanbul University.
Professor Alexander Korsunsky who serves as the Chair of this conference series gave the opening keynote lecture entitled “Operando Micromechanics of Materials”, summarizing “the systematic use of operando studies to characterize materials deformation at multiple scales reaching down to (sub)micron resolution.”
Skoltech students, engineers and researchers gave nine presentations and participated in onsite sessions covering topics in structural design, manufacturing, applied mechanics, functional materials and biomedical materials and alloys, electrochemistry and applied catalysis, advanced building materials and flame retardant materials. Skoltech members also took active part in online panel discussions of metallic materials, metal working and metal matrix composites.
Researcher Julijana Cvjetinovic of the Photonics Center received the Best Presentation Award for her talk on “The nanomechanics of diatom silica exoskeletons”.
Among other conference organizers were Alexey Salimon, Senior research engineer of the Engineering Center and the program chair of the conference, Associate Professor Henni Ouerdane of the Engineering Center and Associate Professor Alexander Safonov of the Materials Center.
On the sidelines of the conference Professor Alexander Korsunsky met with Prof. Dr. Mahmut AK, the Rector of Istanbul University, to discuss prospective collaborations.
The International Conference on Key Engineering Materials is an annual gathering that provides a unique platform for researchers in the fields of Materials Science and Engineering to share and promote their scientific results and discuss technical challenges and proposed solutions. The conference materials will be published as a special issue in Materials Today: Proceedings by Elsevier. The next conference is planned to be held in the United Arab Emirates in March 2024.
