COUPLED 2017 Conference, Rhodes Island, Greece (June 2017)

In June 2017, I went to Rhodes Island, Greece to attend and give a talk at the VII International Conference on Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering (COUPLED 2017), held near Rhodes Town, in the northeast part of the island. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, and is in the eastern part of Greece, very close to Turkey. One of the things Rhodes is known for is having been the home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonder of the ancient world. Following the conference, I traveled around the island of Rhodes, south to Lindos, then to the western coast of the island. I then spent 1 day in Athens before returning to the States.

  • A 30 minute walk from the conference venue was the Acropolis of Rhodes, which dates back to the 3rd-5th century BC. What you see here is a partially reconstructed Temple of Apollo. Actually, what you mostly see is scaffolding around the partially-reconstructed Temple of Apollo... which is somewhat unfortunate, but not surprising given that most of the Acropolis in Athens is also covered by scaffolding.
