The Applied Physics/Engineering Division has long been the premier gathering place for the global community of device physicists and engineers, material scientists, and surface analysts. The division provides a forum for research in nanotechnology, optoelectronics, magneto-optics, renewable energy generation and storage, and thin film electronic devices. The research includes material synthesis, device engineering, and thin film surface characterization and interfaces. Furthermore, 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides and their application in optoelectronic devices, sensing, energy storage, quantum computing, etc., are discussed. In addition, the session will include bio-medical devices and applications related to high-frequency communication in consumer electronics, EVs, and aviation. The division broadly consists of the following topics:

• Solar cells, batteries, thermoelectric devices, and supercapacitors
• Catalysis, fuel cell,s and water splitting
• Bio-batteries, bio-solar cell,s and microbial fuel cells
• Nanomaterial synthesis, 2D material,s and corresponding devices
• Light emitting diodes and transistors
• Materials for Quantum Information Science
• Biomedical devices and wearables
• Antenna, amplifiers, passive devices, etc. for high-speed communication
