PACC9: Symposium for Young Professionals

The Symposium for Young Professionals brings together the younger research community in the fields of ceramics and glass-based materials to discuss challenges and new applications of these materials. Given the high demand of these materials for a diversity of applications, the multidisciplinary network among young researchers is the best way to generate high impact technologies. In this context, this symposium provides students and young researchers a platform to exchange experiences, knowledge, showcase their research, and strengthen their international network leading to innovative materials and novel applications.

Early carrier professors, academic and non-academic researchers, Ph.D., master and undergraduate students as well as post-doctoral fellows from all countries in the Americas are encouraged to submit their abstracts.

Proposed session topics

• Alternative synthesis approaches for advanced ceramics and glass functional materials (composites, nanoparticles, microparticles, porous materials), green chemistry, low temperature approaches, sustainable use of resources, alternative heating methods
• Aeroespacial, armor applications
• Energy-related applications: solar energy, energy harvesting, energy management
• New biomedical applications: diagnosis, therapy, medical equipment development
• Rare-earth-based ceramics and glass-based materials: composites, nanoparticles, microparticles, porous materials
• Sensing materials: gas, pollutants, temperature, pressure sensors
• Technology development and translational research from laboratory to industry scale
• Global networking-challenges and changes for young scientists, accomplished scientists, and thinkers are also invited to influence the carrier development of young professionals.
