Travel Support for International Symposium on Semiconductor Light Emitting Devices (ISSLED)
Abstract
This project is related to the travel support for plenary and invited speakers to attend the 11th International Symposium on Semiconductor Light Emitting Devices (ISSLED), which will be held in Banff, Canada, Oct. 8-12, 2017. The conference is chaired by Prof. Zetian Mi at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Dr. George Wang at Sandia National Labs, and Prof. Zlatko Sitar at North Carolina State University. ISSLED is a specialized biannual international meeting covering current challenges in semiconductor light emitting devices. This is the only meeting in this field that focuses primarily on the new understanding and interdisciplinary science behind the light emission phenomena rather than commercial aspects of the technology. By addressing various challenges in greater depth and detail not possible in broader topical and society meetings, the symposium aims at educating young researchers by offering broader plenary talks and focused discussions. Significantly, this meeting will bring scientists and engineers around the globe to address the challenges for achieving high power laser diodes in a broad wavelength range, including visible and ultraviolet, which are important for the mission of Department of Defense. The participant support will be in the form of small grants (up to $2000) to help covering registration cost and travel of selected individuals. The ARO funds will be used to support plenary and invited speakers and to significantly enhance the quality of the conference.
