Nearly 400 academic and industrial engineers and researchers from 38 countries joined us last week for the annual COMSOL Conference in Lausanne. Mild fall weather accompanied us for all three days of the event, letting the sun shine through the impressive Graetzel cell windows of the SwissTech Convention Center. Read about the highlights of the conference and browse the photo album below.

Another year, another great COMSOL Conference Boston. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of our annual event. Over three days last week, we were able to connect with and learn from one another…and have some fun, too!

Each year, the COMSOL Conference brings the simulation community together to advance modeling skills and discuss innovations in science and engineering. Attendees come to the conference from a wide range of technical backgrounds and industries, and the event offers something for everyone. Keep reading for four reasons why you should attend the COMSOL Conference this year.

In early November, simulation engineers and professionals from across China gathered at the COMSOL Conference 2017 Beijing. More than 70 guests presented their simulation work during the conference presentation sessions. Attendees voted for their favorite posters and three of them earned Best Poster awards. Read on to learn how these posters stood out among a collection of innovative and inspiring projects.

Optimizing fuel for nuclear reactors can increase the amount of power they generate, improve their safety, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, studying nuclear fuel can be complex, as it involves interactions between multiple physical phenomena. In his keynote talk from the COMSOL Conference 2017 Boston, Andrew Prudil of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) discussed using multiphysics models to gain insight into nuclear fuel. If you missed his presentation, find a video recording and summary below.

Earlier this month, simulation engineers and researchers presented their papers and posters at the COMSOL Conference 2018 Boston. Six papers and posters were selected to win awards, with top papers determined by a program committee and top posters determined by popular vote among attendees. Read on to learn what made these papers and posters stand out as award winners among many excellent contributions.

Pablo Rolandi from Amgen delivered a keynote presentation at the COMSOL Conference 2017 Boston. The topic? How Amgen is moving beyond modeling and simulation for biopharma development. Rolandi shared five examples that illustrate this idea across both biologic and synthetic medicine applications. If you missed his presentation, you can watch a recording of the video and read the highlights of what he discussed here.

In a lineup of online shopping results, jackets labeled as being made with GORE-TEX® product technology signal “high quality” to the consumer. The company behind this technology, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., specializes in materials science for fabrics, medical products, and performance solutions. The companies that produce the end products rely on material that performs as expected. To accelerate their product development efforts, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. uses simulation, apps, and the COMSOL Server™ product.

At the COMSOL Conference 2017 Rotterdam, simulation specialists from across Europe (and some from as far away as Chile and South Korea) showcased their innovative research and modeling work. Among the many excellent user presentations, several made a special impression and were recognized with awards. Read on to learn about the top papers and posters from the COMSOL Conference 2017 Rotterdam.

You’re listening to music when you bump into your loudspeaker, knocking it off the table. Fortunately, it still works! In his keynote presentation at the COMSOL Conference 2017 Boston, Richard Little discussed how Sonos, Inc. ensures that loudspeakers are durable enough to withstand certain stresses and how they use simulation to improve the robustness of the transducer component. If you missed his talk, you can watch the video recording below, followed by a quick summary of his presentation.
