The Electronic Materials Symposium is an inter-disciplinary conference that presents a broad spectrum of expert views on problems at the intersection of electronic materials and devices. The one-day symposium seeks to inform participants about challenges that excite today's materials scientists through a series of invited talks by experts in their respective fields.

The 46th Annual Northern California Electronic Materials Symposium, co-sponsored by TMS and IEEE Santa Clara Valley Section, will be held at Benson Memorial Center (Williman Room) in Santa Clara on Friday, May 4, 2018. The program features presentations on advanced electronic materials processing techniques and devices, and analytical techniques by outstanding speakers who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. Registration will begin at 8:00 am.

Topics:

"Digital Atomic-Scale Fabrication", Dr. John Randall - Zyvex Labs

"Gene editing: past, present, and future", Dr. Kathryn Loving - Caribou Biosciences

"Quantum information and a Michelson-Morley test with electrons", Prof. Hartmut Haeffner - UC Berkeley

"Recent advances in neural dust: towards a neural interface platform", Prof. Michel Maharbiz - UC Berkeley

"Quantitative biology with droplet microfluidics", Prof. Adam Abate - UC San Francisco

"A guided safari through the properties of over 1000 2D materials revealed by data mining techniques", Prof. Evan Reed - Stanford University
