On behalf of the IEEE Electron Device Society Vacuum Electronics Technical Committee, I would like to welcome you to the website.
Vacuum electronics, with its century-long legacy, remains a critical technology, enabling high power in microwave, millimeter wave, and even THz frequency regimes. The discipline’s multidisciplinary nature continues to captivate the brightest minds globally, promising innovative breakthroughs that will drive its evolution.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, our committee’s mission is to further foster global collaboration in this vital field. I believe that strengthening ties between researchers, industries, and institutions across different regions is crucial for accelerating progress and addressing the challenges of the future. We are fortunate to be part of a global community where diverse perspectives and shared knowledge can spark new ideas and innovations.
