DOHA: The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) Middle East-Mediterranean Materials Congress on Energy and Infrastructure Systems is focusing on new materials research and development in applications of interest for Qatar, the Middle East and the Mediterranean region.
Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) is co-hosting the forum which ends today.
It is co-organised and sponsored by Qatar University, Qatar Energy and Environment Research Institute and Qapco.
Dr Eyad Masad, Executive Associate Dean and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, TAMUQ, said, “The conference is organised in conjunction with TMS which is the premier materials society in the world. I am glad that the partnership with QU, QEERI and Qapco along with other organisations allowed us to host such an international meeting.” The forum aims to build synergy among researchers working on different materials applications but with similar objectives of enhancing design, sustainability, and functionality of materials.
It also aims to establish collaboration among academia, research institutions, and the industry in the Middle East, Mediterranean region and the rest of the world. The three-day event includes three sessions aligning with three topical tracks — sustainable infrastructure materials; materials for energy extraction, conversion and storage; and computational materials design.
