Last week, our NII Shonan seminar on “Advancing Visual Computing in Materials Science” took place. I co-organized this meeting together with my colleagues Christoph Heinzl, Mike Kirby, Guillermo Requena, Kristi Potter, and Yuriko Takeshima! The outcomes of the seminar are anticipated to provide new directions of interdisciplinary work between visual computing and materials science. Stay tuned for more information!
