NITL had a busy week after Memorial day! Dr. Pavlidis gave an invited talk at the 243rd Electrochemical Society (ECS) Meeting in Boston, MA! He presented on “Sub-Bandgap Thermoreflectance Imaging of Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductors”.
Following ECS, Dr. Pavlidis travelled with Bivek to Orlando, FL, for the IEEE Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm). Bivek successfully presented his first ever conference publication! Meanwhile, Dr. Pavlidis ensured the smooth organization of the Student Networking Poster session. On the last day, they both travelled to the NASA Kennedy Space center in hope of seeing a rocket launch! They ended up encountering an alligator!
Dr. Pavlidis gives an invited talk at the Annual Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Materials & Devices (WOCSEMMAD) in San Antonio, TX! He successfully completed his “beer bet” by demonstrating a UV thermoreflectance image of a wide bandgap transistor.
Talk Title: “Extracting Thermal Properties of UWBG Semiconductors”
Dr. Pavlidis attended the SPIE Photonics West conference in San Francisco for the first time! This is the world’s largest photonics technologies event with over 20,000 participants. He presented an invited talk in the Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics session on “Revealing nanoscale transport mechanisms with scanning probe methods”.
Dr. Pavlidis served as a session chair and poster judge at the 2022 Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) in San Diego,California! He also managed to visit Torrey Pines for a bit of hiking.
Dr. Pavlidis shared his research activities and visions with academia and industry at the Compound Semiconductor Week (CSW) in Ann Arbor, Michigan!
Dr. Pavlidis shared his latest phonon polariton work in 2D Materials at the Materials Research Symposium (MRS) Spring 2022 in Honolulu, Hawaii!
Title: “Long-Lived Hyperbolic Phonon Polaritons in Monoisotopic (10B) Hexagonal Boron Nitride”

Dr. Pavlidis’ contribution to preserving historic oil paintings was featured on the NIST news website! While a researcher at NIST, Dr. Pavlidis collaborated with the National Gallery of Art (NGA), to generate nanoscale chemical maps of artwork. This helped identify the formation of detrimental metal soaps.

Dr. Pavlidis gives an invited talk at the Annual Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Materials & Devices (WOCSEMMAD) in Destin, Florida! He placed a “beer bet” on a research challenge for next year’s conference and managed to see some dolphins on the Gulf of Mexico!
Talk Title: “Scanning Probe Methods for Wide Bandgap Materials”
This Workshop is one of the oldest organized meetings covering the III-V compound semiconductor field and it is one of the few workshop format meetings where the latest results can be debated and discussed in a relatively open format.
