This week-long interdisciplinary workshop brings together experts in Nonlinear Analysis and Calculus of Variations with modelers, computational scientists, and experimentalists working on problems arising from spintronics - an emergent field of Microelectronics that attempts to harness the spin degree of freedom of an electron in addition to its electric charge for computer and information technologies. Recent advances in nanofabrication have allowed an unprecedented degree of control of material properties, enabling existence of topological spin textures in magnetic heterostructures. Their modeling and analysis pose exciting challenges at the intersection of Mathematics and the applied Sciences and provide a fresh fertile ground for the Calculus of Variations.
