2021 Bronze Medal Award

AWARD CITATION

The group is recognized for leading a stakeholder community to establish benchmarks for evaluating and validating phase field simulation software useful to the design and manufacture of advanced materials. The group convened and led 10 workshops since 2015 to establish eight distinct benchmark challenges, and to determine stakeholder needs for a benchmark repository and database. The resulting digital infrastructure that the group built, PFHub, is used by scientists worldwide and is broadly recognized as the world’s authoritative resource for validating phase field simulation software and results.
