The Materialism Podcast
In 2020, the division provided a sponsorship to help produce the University of Utah's materials science podcasts co-created by Professor Taylor Sparks, student moderator, Andrew Falkowski, and student audio technician Jared Duffy. The Materialism Podcast is a podcast dedicated to exploring the past, present, and future of materials science. Click on the icon below to listen to one of the many interesting episodes.
Virtual Meet & Mingle
The Energy Materials and Systems Division hosted a virtual Meet & Mingle on November 25, 2020. This on-line event was well-received and provided an opportunity for members to network with peers and to attend two presentations by experts in the field, Prof. Claus Daniel and Dr. Daniele Benetti.

Student Stipends
The Energy and Materials Systems Division of The American Ceramic Society awards two stipends in the amount of $500 each to help fund students in attending ACerS Annual Meeting combined with MS&T. These stipends are targeted at deserving students with current or future interests in energy-related fields of ceramic and materials engineering. Student participation in EMSD sponsored symposia through an oral or poster presentation is encouraged but not required. The nomination form should be completed by any student and recognized by a faculty member familiar with the student’s academic performance.
