Meet the Authors

Please join us over the break at the Lounge in Gathertown.  Visit anytime during DRC for informal discussion with your colleagues.

Please join us in congratulating our Student Award winners from 2020. Ava Tan and Theresia Knobloch presented the Best Student Papers and James Doherty received the Best Student Poster Award. Well done!

Congratulations to the winners!

The DRC Opening Session and first two Plenary talks start promptly at 08:30 EDT on Monday. See you soon!

Opening Session and Plenary talks

Welcome to the 79th Device Research Conference!

We are deeply appreciative to our sponsors and supporters from NSF, ONR, NIST, Teledyne Technologies, BAE Systems, Qorvo, Texas Instruments, and Northrop Grumman. 
The DRC Short Course on "Quantum Computing Devices and Materials" kicks off Sunday at 13:30 EDT.

Welcome!

For almost eight decades, the Device Research Conference (DRC) has brought together leading scientists, researchers and students to share their latest discoveries in device science, technology and modeling. Notably, many of the first public disclosures of key device technologies were made at the DRC. This year marks the 79th anniversary of the DRC—the longest running device research meeting in the world. As we commemorate this meeting, the high-caliber technical sessions will be highlighted by plenary talks and invited talks by international research pioneers and leaders behind modern electronic technology.

Given the ongoing global health concerns associated with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the DRC leadership has decided to hold the 2021 Device Research Conference in a virtual (online) format. This follows an enormously successful 2020 DRC held virtually, in which we had record attendance and worldwide participation of more than 875 attendees from 33 countries.

The 2021 Conference will feature:

* Informative, timely short courses in rapidly developing fields
* Oral and poster presentations on electronic/photonic device experiments and simulations
* Plenary and invited presentations given by worldwide leaders
* Evening “rump” session
* Strong student participation and Student Paper Awards

DRC is held in coordination with the Electronic Materials Conference (EMC), which will occur the same week, from June 23-25. As has happened in person in past years, in 2021, the virtual DRC and EMC sessions on the shared day, Wednesday, June 23, will be open to all attendees from both conferences. This recognizes the strong interaction between device and electronic materials research and provides fruitful exchanges of information between attendees of both Conferences. For information on the 63rd Electronic Materials Conference, please visit the [EMC 2021 website.](https://www.mrs.org/63rd-emc/)

2021 DRC individual presentation videos will become available in Underline at the end of each technical session. A recording of each full live session with Q&A will be posted later during the conference. To facilitate re-viewing of recorded talks and sessions, the DRC Underline site will remain open through 11:59pm (US EDT) on July 7th. DRC Conference registration will remain open at www.mrs.org/drc-2021/registration through June 30th.

Thank you for joining us at the 2021 Device Research Conference!
