TECHNICAL PROGRAM
This symposium is being held to recognize Julian Szekely's many contributions to the field of materials processing and to provide an opportunity for specialists to present invited papers on the topics of solidification/crystal growth, gas-solid reactions, molten metal processing, plasma processing, iron and steelmaking, and other topics studied by Dr. Szekely and his students.
Session topics, paper titles, and authors may be viewed at this site by accessing the schedule of events. Technical sessions will begin Monday, October 6, 1997, at MIT. A proceedings volume containing papers from oral presentations and abstracts from poster presentations will be available at the meeting. One copy is included in the registration fee. If you like, you can also download the at-meeting program as an Adobe Acrobat file (.pdf).
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
Various social functions have been planned to supplement the formal technical program, including a Sunday evening welcoming reception, a Monday luncheon, and a Tuesday reception/dinner at the Museum of Fine Arts. These functions are included in the registration fee for full conference registrants, as is the proceedings volume. The welcoming reception is complimentary to all attendees and guests. Tickets to other functions for students and accompanying persons may be purchased using the registration form.
