EMA 2011 - 2011 Electronic Materials and Applications (EMA 2011)

Electronic Materials and Applications 2011, jointly programmed by the Electronics Division and Basic Science Division of ACerS, is the second in a series of annual international meetings. The focus of the 2011 meeting is on electronic ceramics for energy generation, conversion and storage applications, and will bring together leaders and experts in the field to address the materials related challenges to these topics.

Who Should Attend

EMA 2011 is designed for materials scientists, engineers, students, researchers and manufacturers with an interest in renewable energy, innovative hybrid and all-electric transportation development, electrical ceramics and advanced microelectronics. This meeting will continue to foster this atmosphere and facilitate these relationships.

Programming

The technical program will include invited lectures, contributed papers, poster presentations, roundtables on emerging topics, and participation of the President’s Council of Student Advisers, the Society’s new student-led group. With increased investment in renewable energy, “smart grid” technologies, all-electric vehicles and innovative hybrid transportation development, electrical ceramics are positioned as the key enabler of technologies. In addition, there is growing interest in energy harvesting, integrated sensors, bio-inspired vehicles and systems, and advanced functional microelectronics, where integrated electrical ceramics and composites will play a key role. EMA 2011 aims to provide the current state-of-the-art in applications of these materials, the fundamental science of materials processing, and advanced methods for materials integration.
