This award will support the 16th Annual Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop (NEGMW) to be held at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut on June 8, 2018. The goal of the NEGW series is to bring together the granular research groups in the Northeast to encourage collaboration and sharing of ideas on projects involving the mechanics of dense granular media and other disordered particulate materials. The topics of the workshop will span a wide range of soft matter and mechanics research including emulsions, active matter, and glasses. Based on prior attendance at NEGMW, at least 75 participants including undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty members will attend the workshop from more than 15 colleges and universities throughout the Northeast. The NEGMW will feature four invited 45-minute talks, six 15-minute contributed talks by junior researchers, and poster sessions. Two of the four invited speakers are female faculty members, and two are from liberal arts colleges. The NEGMW will address several important questions concerning the mechanics of granular media and active materials. Workshop participants will discuss the key physical differences between driven, dissipative systems (e.g., driven granular media) and active biological systems, such as crawling cells and swimming bacteria. In addition, NEGMW presentations will explore whether the flow defects and rearrangements that occur in deformable soft materials such as foams and emulsions are similar to those in granular media and metallic glasses. Invited and contributed talks, and poster sessions as well as breakfast, lunch, and two coffee breaks will provide interludes for follow-up discussions. At the close of the workshop, there will be a final session in which the participants will discuss future research directions, possible multi-institutional collaborations and funding mechanisms, and the organization for the next NEGMW in June 2019.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持于2018年6月8日在康涅狄格州纽黑文市举行的第16届年度东北颗粒材料研讨会（NEGMW）。《 Negw》系列的目标是将东北部的粒状研究小组汇集在一起​​，以鼓励协作和共享涉及密集粒度媒介媒体机制的想法的合作和共享。研讨会的主题将跨越各种软物质和力学研究，包括乳液，活跃物质和眼镜。基于事先参加NEGMW，至少有75名参与者在内，包括本科生，研究生，博士后和教职员工将参加东北地区15多所大学和大学的研讨会。 Negmw将进行四次邀请的45分钟演讲，六次15分钟的初级研究人员的演讲和海报会议。四位受邀演讲者中有两个是女教师，两名来自文科学院。 NEGMW将解决有关颗粒介质和活性材料机制的几个重要问题。研讨会参与者将讨论驱动，耗散系统（例如驱动的颗粒培养基）和活性生物系统（例如爬行细胞和游泳细菌）之间的关键物理差异。此外，NEGMW演示文稿将探讨在可变形的软材料（例如泡沫和乳液）中发生的流缺陷和重排是否与颗粒状培养基和金属玻璃中的泡沫和乳液相似。受邀和贡献会谈，海报会议以及早餐，午餐和两次咖啡休息时间将为后续讨论提供插曲。在研讨会结束时，将在最后会议上讨论未来的研究指示，可能的多机构合作和资助机制，以及2019年6月的下一个NegMW组织。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的范围来评估，并通过评估值得评估，并被认为是值得的。
