Electronic Materials and Applications 2023

Event recap

Electronic Materials & Applications (EMA) 2023 — Orlando

We continued our annual ACerS presence, contributing to the 5G/6G Communications Symposia and engaging with the global ceramics community.

Organizer
ACerS — The American Ceramic Society (est. 1898; 11k+ members, 70+ countries)
City
Orlando, Florida — in-person after two remote editions

Symposium S21 — Keynote

KeynoteMaterials · Devices · 6G

Evaluation and Extensions of Resonator Techniques for the Characterization of Ceramics & Energy Materials Relevant to 6G Applications

Speaker: Dr. Małgorzata Celuch (QWED President)

The keynote covered temperature-dependent characterisation of ULTCCs (ULTCC6G_EPac), surface imaging for energy materials (H2020 NanoBat & M-ERA.NET I4BAGS), and round-robin outcomes from the iNEMI 5G initiative.

Industry panel

PanelistAfternoon session

Bridging Materials Science and High-Frequency Engineering

Dr. Celuch served as a panelist, emphasising how European Horizon and ERA.NET projects help connect labs and industry. The panel was coordinated by Lucas Enright and featured Michael Hill (Skyworks) and Charles Hill (3M).

Community & project highlights

ACerS community
We engaged with the 11k+ member network spanning research and manufacturing.
iNEMI 5G
Complementary talks by L. Enright (NIST), S. Phommakesone (Keysight), and C. Hill (3M) broadened the SRM and round-robin narrative.
QWED projects
Updates from ULTCC6G_EPac, I4BAGS, and NanoBat showcased reproducible, application-driven characterisation.

Key takeaways

Back to in-person
Orlando brought renewed energy and interaction.
Traceability matters
Round-robins and SRMs underpin 5G/6G materials advances.
Cross-sector bridges
Panels and symposia aligned materials science with RF engineering needs.
