The AEMMG promotes the Powders & Grains conference, focusing on granular media research. The 2025 event in Goa, India will feature contributions from global experts addressing various open problems in the field.
Key Aspects:
- Broad Coverage: The conference will delve into various aspects of cell biology, including cell structure, signaling, developmental biology, disease biology, plant science, microbiology, and emerging therapeutic applications.
- Target Audience: It’s a crucial annual event for scientists, academicians, researchers, and students in the field of cell biology across India.
The Powders & Grains conference is held every four years and aims to provide an up-to-date picture of the broad research field of granular media, powders, and grains. Contributions from experts around the world will focus on research topics covering a wide range of open problems in the field, including:
- Rheology and constitutive modelling of granular media
- Kinetic theory of granular materials: granular gas, gas-solid suspension with cohesive & charged particles
- Jamming, rigidity, and shear-thickening transitions
- Polydispersity, segregation, and pattern formation
- Geophysical, environmental, and planetary granular processes: sand dunes, avalanches, dust storms, aerosols, accretion disks, impact cratering
- Geomaterials: soil, rock, concrete & minerals
- Powder processing in pharmaceuticals and food science
- Particulate multiphase flows: fluidization, sediment transport, porous media
- Particle-based numerical methods: DEM, MD, DSMC, MPM, Fast Spectral with AI/ML techniques
- Emerging topics: Additive manufacturing & metamaterials, microgravity, tribo-charging, and active particles.
