This symposium features alumni of the Richard M. Fulrath award. Established in 1978 to memorialize Fulrath’s contributions to the ceramics community (1924-1977), the award recognizes major achievements in the ceramics field, promotes technical and personal friendships between US and Japanese professional ceramic engineers and scientists, and encourages understanding and collaboration among our diverse cultures.
The symposium accordingly highlights ongoing advances by some of the 150 overall Fulrath awardees. Spanning fundamental and applied ceramics research. This includes novel processing, characterization, and functionalities; commercialization of ceramics technologies; and especially in the spirit of Fulrath’s contributions a focus on applications addressing pressing challenges in society including sustainability, security, medicine, and energy. Fulrath symposia are designed to include historic reviews, incorporate brand new results, and allow extra time for questions, conversation, and friendship.
Proposed sessions and topics of interest:
- Advances in processing, modelling, and characterization
- Bulk ceramics, thin films, and coatings
- New functionalities and multifunctionalities
- Device performance and degradation
- Ceramics in extreme conditions
- Applications in medicine, security, energy, and sustainability
