2009 GEC

62^nd Gaseous Electronics Conference
October 20 - 23, 2009, Saratoga Springs, NY, USA

Welcome to the GEC'09 website!

This year's conference will be held in Saratoga Springs, in the Capital Region of New York State, two hour drive north of New York City.

The Capital Region is a location of a major center in semiconductor manufacturing and nano technology at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the SUNY University at Albany. Nearby are also major research facilities by GE, Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, and IBM, as well as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union College.

Special Events

A century ago Schenectady (also in the Capital Region) was the site of the first electronics

revolution. Nobel Laureate Irving Langmuir worked there at GE and perfected Edison's light bulb, put Vacuum science on a firm foundation, and probed plasmas. To commemorate Langmuir's work, GEC will organize several events on his life and work.

Pre-Conference Workshop will cover recent advances in theory and measurement of plasma transport coefficients with applications to plasma modeling.

The 62nd GEC will also offer several tutorials and special sessions on topics relevant to research and applications of low temperature plasma.

See Special Program for more details on all the above.
