The exceptional properties of nanostructures have drawn a new horizon for the future of science. These include low dimensional atomic systems such as graphene sheets and nanotubes and many biological and structural elements such as biomimetic materials, bio-membranes, nanowires, thin films, etc. Multiscale analysis has provided the scientific community with a cost efficient methodology to explore and investigate them with performing full atomistic calculation in non-homogeneous regions and using coarse-grained methods far away from these regions. This symposium will provide a forum for researchers to present research on the advances in multiscale analyses and frameworks common to these diverse materials. Topics include, but are not limited to, theory and computation on:

  • Multiscale analyses of crystalline structures
  • Multiscale analyses of carbon-based membranes such as graphene and nanotubes
  • Multiscale analyses of biomimetic materials and biological molecules
