About this event

From offshore platforms to the interior of advanced electronics and high-performance vehicles, materials are constantly being pushed to their limits. The advancement of materials capable of withstanding extreme environments—such as high-rate deformation, shock loading, corrosive exposure, and intense thermal and mechanical stress—is a critical frontier in materials science and engineering. This symposium explores recent progress in the design, synthesis, and application of materials that exhibit exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and structural reliability under such demanding conditions.

Speakers will share real-world challenges and solutions, offering insights into cutting-edge alloy development, composite behavior under impact, and dimensional stability in substrates and components. The program highlights innovations that are redefining performance expectations and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration around materials that are engineered not just to endure—but to enable the technologies of the future.

The registration begins at 8:00 AM and the symposium begins at 8:50 a.m., followed by a student poster session, at 4:00 p.m.
