Christmas workshop on ‘’Topology, geometry and Defects in Amorphous solids’’

Dates: Dec 20-22, 2025

Location: SJTU Minhang Campus

This workshop aims to bring together active researchers in the Chinese community to foster a vibrant and productive interaction and discussion on the emergent topic of defects in amorphous solids. The program will span the broad spectrum of research at the interplay between topology, geometry, soft matter, statistical physics and material science. Among these areas, special emphasis will be placed on several rapidly developing directions, such as:

·       Topological methods in disordered systems

·       Vibrational, thermodynamic and transport anomalies in glasses

·       Physics of the glass transition

·       Mechanical deformations and plasticity in amorphous solids

·       Geometrical theory of defects in amorphous solids

·       Anomalous elasticity and plastic screening

·       Relaxation and nonphononic excitations in glasses
