Message from Division Chair

The Applied Physics Division has long served as a premier forum for device physicists, engineers, material scientists, technologists, and surface analysts working at the forefront of renewable energy and storage technology, nano-engineered materials, quantum technologies, biomedical devices, and high-frequency communications. Research topics encompass material synthesis, device engineering, surface/interface characterization, modeling, and system-level integration. The Applied Physics Division invites original research contributions spanning advanced materials, device physics, and emerging engineering technologies. The division’s scope includes the following topics:
– Solar Cells, Batteries, Thermoelectric Devices, and Supercapacitors
– Catalysis, Fuel Cells, and Water Splitting
– Bio-batteries, Bio-solar Cells, and Microbial Fuel Cells
– Nanomaterial Synthesis, 2D Materials, and Related Devices
– Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and Transistors
– Materials for Quantum Information Science
– Biomedical Devices and Wearables
– Antenna, Amplifiers, and Passive Devices for High-Speed Communication
