The Henry Royce Institute (Royce) is pleased to announce a Partnership with SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics. The Partnership will organise, promote and deliver a major event which will see the international advanced functional materials community converge on Manchester to discuss, explore and address topics ranging from plasmonic materials and devices through to materials and systems for low-loss electronics, including advanced characterisation and the modelling and simulation of these systems.
The Advanced Electronic and Photonic Materials Conference will be held on 7- 8 September 2022 at the University of Manchester. This is a two-day in-person meeting organised by the Royce Atoms2Devices (A2D) Research leadership team in collaboration with SPIE, and seeks to connect experts, industry members, and students focused on the enabling role of advanced functional materials in future technologies.
Royce’s Research Area Leads for A2D Professors Neil Alford, Manish Chhowalla, Richard Curry and Edmund Linfield will also Chair the key sessions.
Richard Curry Professor of Advanced Electronic Materials at the University of Manchester said:
“Royce, in particular its A2D Research Area, is delighted to partner with SPIE on the delivery of this important Advanced Electronic and Photonic Materials Conference which will see a range of presentations on the latest breakthroughs and challenges facing the advanced functional materials sector.
“The Royce A2D Research Area is focussed on the discovery and engineering of new materials, and their translation into applications ranging from photonics, imaging, semiconductors and sensors, through to energy storage, and quantum technologies. We are therefore very much looking forward to being a part of this important event and more importantly, bringing the community together in Manchester.”
SPIE Director of Science and Technology Bob Hainsey added:
“We are looking forward to partnering with this group of prestigious leaders and organisations to bring the photonic materials community together. Today’s science and technology advancements depend on breakthrough materials to solve research and engineering problems and being able to have face to face discussions about these intersections of research and engineering are key. Both the technical programme and the one-day exhibition will bring researchers and product suppliers together to explore exciting potential solutions.”
The event will also provide the opportunity to showcase some of the fantastic new facilities in which the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has invested through Royce, both at the Manchester Hub and across the other Royce Partners
