European Conference on Silicon and Silica Based Materials

WELCOME TO ec-siliconf1

All scientists, PhD students engineers and experts as well as manufacturers users and product developers are welcome in event of the

1^st European Conference on Silicon and Silica Based Materials

which will be held in Hungary in the wonderful natural environment of the Mountains Bükk at Miskolc-Lillafüred in Hotel Palota in September 17-20, 2019.

In our days the silicon (Si), silica (SiO2) and other silicon content materials are wide range used and have appearances including nanoscale, liquid, melt, solid, powder, crystal and amorphous structures. The aims of the ec-siliconf1 are the creation of an interdisciplinary European and worldwide forum on the silicon and silica content materials and fostering of collaboration among scientists, researchers, PhD students, engineers as well as universities, research institutions and industry.

The 1^st European Conference on Silicon and Silica Based Materials provides a platform for leading material scientists, metallurgists, ceramists, physicists, chemists, pharmacists, doctors and physicians, researchers, PhD students and engineers for discussing recent achievements in development, production, application, characterization, measurement and modeling of silicon, silica and other silicon content materials and composites.

The peer reviewed and accepted papers of the conference will be published in United Kingdom in the OPEN ACCESS periodical of Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS). At present JPCS has H=57 Index values with Q3 citations and 0.42 SJR value. The conference participants have also opportunities to publish their unpublished original manuscripts free of charge in the scientific journal Építőanyag-JSBCM which has a good Citation Index and is refered by THOMSON REUTERS, by INDEX COPERNICUS and many others.

PLENARY LECTURES

Professor Vladimir SHEVCHENKO

Vladimir Shevchenko

Professor, academician, Institute of Silicate Chemistry Russian Academy of Sciences - Saint-Petersburg, Russia

Vladimir Shevchenko graduated from Moscow University and joined Institute Radio Engineering and Electronics in 1963. He took a PhD degree in Physics Science in 1969. In 1977 he defended his doctoral theses at Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry. Full member of Russian Academy of Sciences from 2000. From 1998 - Director of the Institute of Silicate Chemistry RAS. Professor Shevchenko have achieved significant and important results in the scope of modern semiconductor compounds of A^IIB^V group, crystal chemistry of dielectric-metal structural transitions, physical chemistry of failure of ceramics under extreme stress. The theory of the strength of ceramic materials under intense mechanical and thermal loads was developed by him. It led to the creation of the first domestic armor constructions for body armor and vehicles. Now the field of his interests is application of ceramic materials with triple periodic minimal surface (TPMS) topology as functional and structural elements. In addition, he is a laureate of State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and engineering and is Fellow of ECerS, the academician of World Academy of Ceramics.
At ec-siliconf1, Professor Shevchenko will give a Plenary talk on "On the synthesis of interconnected regular Turing structures with the topology of triply periodic surfaces of minimal energy"

Professor Sajeev JOHN

Sajeev John

"University Professor" at the University of Toronto and Government of Canada

He received his Bachelor's degree in physics in 1979 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in physics at Harvard University in 1984. His Ph.D. work at Harvard introduced the theory of classical wave localization and in particular the localization of light in three-dimensional strongly scattering dielectrics. From 1986-1989 he was an assistant professor of physics at Princeton University. While at Princeton, he co-invented (1987) the concept of photonic band gap materials, providing a systematic route to his original conception (1984) of the localization of light. In the fall of 1989 he joined the senior physics faculty at the University of Toronto. Professor John is the winner of the 2001 King Faisal International Prize in Science, which he shared with Nobel Laureate C. N. Yang. He is also the first ever winner of Ontario's Platinum Medal for Science and Medicine in 2002. Dr. John is the winner of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Quantum Electronics Award in 2007 for "the invention and development of light-trapping crystals and elucidation of their properties and applications". He is also the winner of the 2008 IEEE Nanotechnology Pioneer Award and the 2013 IEEE David Sarnoff Award. Prof. John was awarded the Killam Prize in Natural Sciences for 2014, one of Canada's highest national honours. In 2017, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada.
In 2011, Prof. John was selected as a Thomson-Reuters Citation Laureate. Prof. John has been awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship (USA) and the Humboldt Senior Scientist Award (Germany). In 2007, Dr. John was awarded the C.V. Raman Chair Professorship of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Prof. John is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, the Royal Society of Canada, and a member of the Max-Planck Society of Germany.
