ASM’S ANNUAL MEETING INTERNATIONALMATERIALSAPPLICATIONS&TECHNOLOGIES SHOW P R EV I EW SEPTEMBER 1 4 - 1 7, 2020 | CLEVELAND, OH SOLVING GLOBAL MATERIALS CHALLENGES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 Addressing Chemistry Challenges with Emerging Technology in Industry Research Dr. Jeannette M. Garcia 9:00−10:00 a.m. The keynote presentation will highlight some of the most difficult challenges in chemistry and will provide new approaches and tools that can be used for better understanding of nature. The new tools will include using quantum computers for molecular simulation, as well as recent highlights from IBM labs. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 Observations of a Myopic Futurist Dr. JT Kostman 11:00 a.m.−12:00 p.m. The business world is about to change more quickly—and more dramatically—than it ever has before. Over the coming decade, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence will have a greater impact on the global economy than any force since electricity. There will be unprecedented winners. But many more losers. A few companies will thrive. But many more will not survive. Join us for a provocative conversation to understand why— and what you can do to ensure your organization will be among the few to reap the future’s rewards. K E YNOT E L EC TUR E S Material in the Data-rich Age Dr. Leo Christodoulou 3:00−4:00 p.m. Humanity has defined its Ages by materials (Stone Age, Iron Age, Silicon Age). During all these periods value, wealth and power vested with those that mastered those materials. But in reality, value and wealth and power vested with those that had the knowledge about those materials. Those that knew how to find them, fabricate them, use them. So it has always been about what you know about a material not what it is. In this talk, the presenter will discuss the importance of the information content of a material and how to obtainand advantageously use the data embodied in materials for benefit. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 Emerging Materials Technologies for Power Generation Dr. James Ruud 11:00 a.m.−12:00 p.m. Advances in energy technologies are often dependent on enhanced performance of materials which enable high efficiency, long life, and cost-effective manufacturing of energy production systems. Structural materials integrated with environmental coatings are critical for efficient turbine designs that convert coal, petroleum, gas, nuclear and wind energy to electricity, and multilayered, functional materials are tailored for the direct conversion of sunlight or electrochemical potential to electricity. With the continued growth and changing energy technology mix as a context, this talk will discuss challenges and opportunities for materials development for global power generation. ORGANIZED BY:
