This award will support the 4th International Conference on Packing Problems that will be held at Yale University June 3-7, 2019. The 4th International Conference on Packing Problems will feature 37 invited speakers (with 40-minute talks) from the U.S., Europe, India, China, Japan, and Australia, and at least 10 contributed 20-minute talks from junior scientists. The topics of the Conference will include packing and flows in granular media, jamming and glass transitions in metal alloys, colloids, gels, droplets, foams, and emulsions, tissue morphogenesis, cell packing in tumors, and dense packing in proteins. In contrast to the previous three Conferences, the 4th International Conference on Packing Problems will have a significant focus on jamming and glass transitions in biological materials. The Conference on Packing Problems will offer at least 10 contributed speaking slots for junior researchers to give 20-minute talks and two 90-minute poster sessions, which will allow the junior researchers to introduce their work and receive feedback on their work from the international research community. The Conference will advertise to undergraduates, Ph.D. students, and postdocs at the universities of the invited speakers and through newsletters of several Units (DBIO, DCMP, GSOFT, and GSNP) of the American Physical Society. To encourage attendance by URM undergraduates and Ph.D. students, the PI will offer 5 travel grants for URM students.How the structural and mechanical properties of systems near jamming are affected by particle shape, deformability, and friction needs further research. In addition, more recent work has identified jamming like transitions that occur in developing tissues, cancer tumors, the bacterial cytoplasm, and protein cores. The 4th International Conference on Packing Problems will bring together experts in jamming and glass transitions and packing problems and allow them to interact with the leading experimentalists in soft matter and biological physics to determine whether concepts from ja mming and glass transitions can be used to explain important open questions in their research areas.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.

该奖项将支持将于 2019 年 6 月 3 日至 7 日在耶鲁大学举行的第四届包装问题国际会议。第四届包装问题国际会议将有 37 名来自美国、欧洲、美国、日本、印度等国家的受邀演讲者（演讲时间为 40 分钟）。印度、中国、日本和澳大利亚，以及至少 10 个国家的初级科学家发表了 20 分钟的演讲。会议的主题将包括颗粒介质中的堆积和流动、金属合金、胶体、凝胶、液滴、泡沫和乳液中的干扰和玻璃化转变、组织形态发生、肿瘤中的细胞堆积以及蛋白质中的致密堆积。与前三届会议相比，第四届国际包装问题会议将重点关注生物材料中的干扰和玻璃化转变。包装问题会议将为初级研究人员提供至少 10 个贡献演讲时段，进行 20 分钟的演讲和两个 90 分钟的海报会议，这将使初级研究人员能够介绍他们的工作并获得国际研究人员对其工作的反馈社区。会议将向本科生、博士生做广告。受邀演讲者所在大学的学生和博士后以及通过美国物理学会多个单位（DBIO、DCMP、GSOFT 和 GSNP）的时事通讯。为了鼓励URM本科生和博士生的出席PI 将为 URM 学生提供 5 笔旅费补助。接近干扰的系统的结构和机械性能如何受到颗粒形状、变形性和摩擦力的影响，需要进一步研究。此外，最近的工作还发现了在发育中的组织、癌症肿瘤、细菌细胞质和蛋白质核心中发生的干扰样转变。第四届国际堆积问题会议将汇集干扰和玻璃化转变以及堆积问题方面的专家，让他们与软物质和生物物理学领域的领先实验家进行互动，以确定干扰和玻璃化转变的概念是否可以用来解释重要的问题。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
