Coming off the celebration of its Centennial year, the Journal of the American Ceramic Society (JACerS) continues its celebration as the world’s most cited source of scientific knowledge and information for ceramic and glass.
Editor-in-chief Bill Fahrenholtz has organized JACerS Awards Symposium to showcase some of the most important advances reported in the Journal recently. This level of excellence is a direct result of leading researchers choosing to submit their outstanding work to the Journal.
If you need another reason to attend MS&T18 this October, we now have 13 more reasons for you to register today.
JACerS Awards Symposium, which will take place October 17 at MS&T18, consists of 13 invited presentations from leading researchers in ceramic research—on topics ranging from electronic materials to waste remediation. The extended presentations not only report on the current state of the art, they explore the future of ceramic materials, processes, and applications via theoretical studies, advanced processing and measurement methods, and predictive modeling.
Journal editors selected the best papers published in JACerS within the last two years based on criteria such as emerging research areas, number of citations, and high impact in the field of ceramic science. Graduate student authors and new authors will present their work alongside luminaries of the field.
The symposium, divided into two sessions, will take place in the Greater Columbus Convention Center (Columbus, Ohio) on Wednesday, October 17, starting at 8:00 a.m. in room A125.
