A Joint Workshop of ACS | IEEE | MRS
Invited Speakers | Chairs | Program
The workshop brought together a broad spectrum of chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and engineers from both industry and academia in a stimulating forum to share information and ideas in the emerging fields of Organic Microelectronics and Optoelectronics. The goal is to build an interdisciplinary community working on applications such as RFIDs, displays, sensors, photovoltaics and optical devices while addressing some of the common scientific and manufacturing challenges to help these technologies advance in a more rapid, effective, and economical manner.
The technical program focused on the areas of synthesis, theory, novel processing/ patterning/fabrication and device physics through a series of presentations by renowned invited speakers and poster sessions. (We invite you to view the workshop program and abstracts and this welcome message from the Meeting Chairs.)
