6th IEEE ICEE: Plethora of research beyond silicon in semiconductor devices

In recent times, I never been to an electronics engineering event in Bangalore with such an industry-relevant research content presented by academia as well as some industry researchers in the broad spectrum of electronics devices and materials. I am talking about the IEEE organised 4-day event' International Conference of Emerging Electronics (ICEE) concluded on 14th of Dec 2022 in Bangalore, India. Though this 6th event was quite a semiconductor centered, but swinged all the way to biomaterial, metamaterial and any new materials for computing, sensing, converting, switching, transceiving, amplifying, filtering, oscillating, displaying and measuring electrical, optical and the in between Tera Hertz signals and waves. Along with the coverage of devices and materials, ICEE 2022 also had good number of sessions on quantum computing, device/performance simulation, heterogeneous integration, Neuromorphic computing, AI/ML at device level, and solar PV technologies. The event started with tutorial sessions covering topics such as Tera Hertz, Semiconductor Device Simulation, Neuromorphic computing, Biosensors, and Photovoltaics. I could only attend the last two days of the event. Mr. Sameer Pendharkar, Vice President of technology development, Texas Instruments, in his keynote shared to the audience on how the improvement in semiconductor technology is enabling the efficien...
