Don’t miss this year’s plenary speakers: Tony Gozdz, Principal Scientist, A123 Systems; Harriet Kung, Associate Director of Science for Basic Energy Sciences (BES), DOE; and John T. Prater, Materials Science Division, U.S. Army Research Office. Jointly programmed by the Electronics Division and Basic Science Division, EMA 2012 takes place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at Sea World^® January 18-20, 2012. Online registration is now closed. To attend EMA 2012, register onsite.

EMA 2012 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. The programming includes a mix of industrial, university and federal laboratory participants.

The technical program will include invited lectures, contributed papers, poster presentations, round tables on emerging topics, and an ACerS PCSA-run symposium featuring student research. 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. There is continued interest in energy harvesting, integrated sensors, bio-inspired vehicles &systems, and advanced functional microelectronics where integrated electrical ceramics & composites will play a key role. EMA 2012 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.
