78th Device Research Conference (DRC 2020) held at The Ohio State University

Abstract

The Device Research Conference (DRC) brings together leading scientists andengineers in the broad field of device research to share and discuss new discoveries and directions related to electronic and photonic devices. While student attendance and participation has always been a hallmark of DRC, we have seen a decline in student involvement in recent years. We have found that student participation is strictly tied to the ability of offering a discounted student registration rate. This is a major edition of the conference that will include amultitude of educational opportunities for students and researchers; hence, the objective to increase and enhance student and researcher participation. Our approach for accomplishing this increased student involvement is to use the requested $10,000 ONR grant to offer a substantial discount for student registration to the general conference and its short course. It is anticipated that this level of discount will yield a 30 % increase in student registrants, basedon our data over the past few years.
