Berkeley/Stanford Computational Mechanics Festival (CompFest)
We would like to invite you to participate in the Berkeley/Stanford CompFest 2022. This will be the 8th edition of CompFest, which is a ‘Mechanics & Computation Festival’ that we believe is particularly beneficial for younger researchers in our community. More information is available on the CompFest website at https://compfest.stanford.edu.

This year’s CompFest will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2022 at the Stanford Campus. The format is as follows:

(1) We allow graduate students and postdocs in the invited research groups to present.

(2) We take the total time available (up to 8 hours) and divide it by the number of speakers.

(3) Typically, each presenter gets about 5 minutes to give a very concise ’snapshot’ of their research.

There is no registration fee but every participant must submit the registration form available on the CompFest website before November 18, 2022.
