The unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of 2D materials have sparked an extraordinary level of experimental, theoretical, and computational activity in the materials science community. Interest in the mathematics community has recently emerged to develop rigorous foundations, improved models, and computational methods.

This workshop will be the first 2D materials workshop to focus on mathematical modeling and computing aspects. Some of the topics to be explored will be the electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of incommensurate heterostructures, defects, edge states, and surface plasmonics. A major goal of this workshop is to develop a community of mathematicians, scientists, and engineers that will contribute to the future development of 2D materials.
