University of Central Florida
Math and Physics Building
Orlando, Florida
We
would like to thank everyone for making this an extremely successful
event. We received support, monetary and otherwise, from John Schell's
office, the Physics department, AMPAC, and the College of Sciences.
Talks:
The faculty schedule of talks in shown here. For .pdf files of some of the talks for the 2006 meeting, follow this link. To find some .ppt and .pdf files of talks from the 2005 meeting, follow the link here.
This was a new offering developed for this year's meeting. In total, about 22 students (6 undergraduate and 16 graduate) participated in the workshop. Prof. Schelling gave introductory lectures and some instruction, and then most of the workshop activities were led and supervised by graduate students Kumar and Skye from Prof. Schelling's group. In addition to sevearl interesting MD simulation exercises, students learned to make VMD simulation movies and also the basics of MPI programming for MD codes.
Florida Society for Materials Simulation:
We initiated the FSMS at the meeting. Below is a photo of the first meeting of the FSMS.

Poster Session:
There was a very active poster session presented. Please look here for a list of poster titles presented at the meeting.
This is the 2nd Annual Meeting of the
Florida Materials Simulators. The first meeting was organized by Simon
Phillpot and Susan Sinnott at the University of Florida in August 2005.
The first meeting had participants from several Universities across the
state, including UCF, UF, FSU, and USF. For the meeting this year, we
are trying again to broaden participation to other Florida universities.
The objective of the meeting is to bring together materials simulators from the state of Florida to discuss research directions, funding, and possible collaborations. Participants will present talks on their current research interests, and also engage in broad discussions about possible future directions of the group.
