An informal workshop in to discuss the new frontiers of glass physics and its applications. We focus on two main topics, expected to be central research subjects in the next 1/2 years. Saturday will be devoted to two-level systems, and Sunday on rheology and dynamics of glasses. Talks will be concentrated in the mornings, in order to allow for discussion and collaboration in the afternoons.
Besides the contributed talks, there will be two special seminars:
On Saturday, there will be a Tutorial on two-level systems by Prof. D.R. Reichman.
On Sunday, we will have an Interdisciplinary guest lecture by Prof. S. Newman.
