Tutorials

We are delighted to have had Prof. Dr. Sigurd Wagner, as the Mott Lecturer at ICANS23.  He is recognized for his groundbreaking research, both fundamental and applied, on amorphous semiconductors as well as chalcopyrites. He introduced the concept of macroelectronics by developing thin film devices on glass, metal or plastics. In this manner he also contributed to environmentally benign applications such as solar cells and displays with lower materials and energy consumption. The ICANS23 Organizing Committee and the International Advisory Committee also appreciate his efforts to promote our research field through active contributions to the ICA(L,M,N)S Conferences and MRS Spring Meetings series and his capability to engage young researchers in our field.

More about Prof. Wagner and his professional career can be found here.
The Mott lecture is awarded to scientists working in the tradition of Nobel laureate Sir Nevill Mott, with exceptional contributions to the fields important to the ICANS Conference. The title of this year's Mott lecture is: "Amorphous Silicon: Vehicle and Test Bed for Large-area Electronics"
