2008 Device Research Conference

The 2008 Device Research Conference (DRC 2008) will take place in the University of California, Santa Barbara, on June 23-25 2008.

DRC is one of the oldest conferences in the field of electron devices. Every year, DRC brings together top scientists, researchers and graduate students from both the industry and academia. Their latest research results are not only presented, but also frankly discussed. The fact that DRC is always held in one university encourages the exchange of creative ideas.

Student participation in DRC is always strong. Travel support for students is offered. Besides, there is a very prestigeous Best Student Paper Award.

The technical program will include oral and poster presentations as well as three rump sessions.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 7 2008.

Topics include all aspects related to electronic and optoelectronic devices, including "modeling and simulation of devices". The Call for Paper indicates with detail the types of devices addressed. Even biological devices are mentioned.

A number of prestigeous researchers will give invited talks.

Finally, there will be an excellent social programme, as can be expected when a conference takes place in a university.
