Our NII Shonan seminar proposal on “Advancing Visual Computing in Materials Science” has been accepted. The seminar will take place—COVID-19 allowing—in October 2021 and aims at identifying novel directions of interdisciplinary work between visual computing and materials science. I will be co-organizing this meeting together with my amazing colleagues Christoph Heinzl, Mike Kirby, Guillermo Requena, Kristi Potter, and Yuriko Takeshima!
