Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the Workshop on Phonons in Advanced Materials, to be held June 22 -- 24 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado this summer. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in the condensed matter physics, materials science, mechanical engineering and solid-state chemistry communities to discuss current challenges and opportunities in the physics of phonons across various application areas, e.g. thermal transport. This will be a small (~80 participants) workshop akin to a Gordon research conference or Psi-K/CECAM workshop, with lots of time for extended discussions. Talks are invitation-only (speakers below), but we encourage the submission of abstracts for posters and anticipate a lively poster session. Abstract submission closes on March 20th. The registration fee will be around $500 and includes four nights of accommodation in a Colorado School of Mines dorm, breakfasts and lunches.

Further information, including a link to submit abstracts, can be found at the workshop website: https://phonons.mines.edu/

We hope to see you in Golden this summer!

With best wishes on behalf of the organizers,

Nicole Benedek
