The National Laboratory of Non-Equilibrium Matter Engineering (LANIMFE) is a laboratory created for the generation and validation of simulation tools that allow understanding, controlling, and improving the transformation processes of materials through the prediction of their behavior during such processes. LANIMFE integrates high-level academic and scientific strengths from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, the Thematic Network of Soft Condensed Matter (RTMCB), and the innovation capabilities of the Center for Engineering and Industrial Development (CIDESI).
Read MoreAn important component of the Mexican community of soft condensed matter science developed through the last four decades in a close and productive association and collaboration with renowned research groups of the German soft condensed matter community. In the process, key institutions, such as the University of Konstanz, the University of Düsseldorf, the Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt in Köln, were instrumental in fostering this mutually enriching cooperation. It is now opportune to recapitulate the achievements of these four decades and to stimulate its generational renewal.
The topics covered by the International Conference on Science and Technology of Complex Fluids (ICSTCF) include: self assembled supramolecular structures, polymers, colloids, interfacial phenomena, active matter, glasses and gels, biophysics, among others topics also related with Soft Matter Physics either using experimental, theoretical or simulation methodologies.
The ICSTCF has a very important tradition in México, and has been organized with the main idea of gathering scientist interested in topics related to soft condensed matter. This conference is also intented to encourage the participation of young undergrad and graduate students.
The scientific focus of the conference is on timely and relevant topics of the science and technology of complex fluids. Particular emphasis will be given to novel methods and tools of experimental research, numerical simulation, and theory in complex fluids and soft matter research fields. The aim of the conference is to stimulate collaborations among members of the international scientific and technological community and industry.
