Team Success at EMA 2025
We're thrilled to share the highlights of our team's recent participation at the Electronic Materials and Applications (EMA) 2025 meeting! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the ceramics community, share our latest research, and learn from fellow experts in the field.
The EMA meeting, held right in our backyard, provided an ideal platform to showcase our work and foster collaborations. We were particularly excited to see the enthusiastic reception of our team's presentations and contributions.
Grace Guinan delivered an outstanding presentation on her cutting-edge research into MXene point defect topology. Her work explored the intricate structural characteristics of these promising 2D materials, generating significant interest and insightful discussions among attendees. Grace's deep understanding of materials science and her ability to clearly articulate complex concepts truly shone.

Addie Salvador and Maddy Hoffmann took advantage of the excellent tutorial on ptychography, a powerful imaging technique. They also engaged in valuable discussions with colleagues regarding automation and data analysis, further strengthening our team's expertise in these critical areas. Michelle Smeaton joined the team in networking and attending the technical sessions, providing valuable insights and helping to connect with peers and other experts.
My own invited talk, focusing on autonomous science, highlighted the advancements we're making in leveraging AI and machine learning to accelerate materials discovery and characterization. I emphasized the potential of automation to streamline research workflows, enabling faster and more efficient development of advanced electronic materials. The talk generated lively discussions about the future of materials science and the role of AI in driving innovation.
Being able to connect with the ceramics community in our own region was particularly rewarding. The EMA meeting provided a unique opportunity to engage with local researchers, industry professionals, and students, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration.
We're incredibly proud of our team's contributions and the positive impact they made at EMA 2025. We look forward to continuing to advance the field of electronic materials and collaborating with our colleagues in the years to come.
Stay tuned for more updates on our research and upcoming events!
