About this session

Wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors possess unique properties that make them exciting alternatives to silicon for power and high-frequency electronics, as well as for deployment in extreme environments. This session will provide an overview of ongoing research at NC State University in this space, while describing the need for interdisciplinary, international, and public-private partnerships to make breakthroughs. The opportunities and challenges associated with developing a workforce that can contribute to this field will also be discussed.

Jointly hosted by NC State University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
