    Dear Ellipsometry Community in North America,

    We look forward to welcoming you to the 1st American Workshop on Ellipsometry (AWE-1) to be held February 28 – March 3, 2027, in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Lincoln offers a rich history of more than 100 years in the science and engineering of ellipsometry.  The venue will be located on the Nebraska Innovation Campus.

    AWE-1 will be the inaugural workshop & exhibition organized and sponsored by the North American Ellipsometry Association (NAEA).  This meeting aims to bring together experienced leaders, early-career professionals, and especially students from various academic, public, and industrial sectors.  The main purpose is to provide a forum for beginners and experts alike to learn, exchange, and share scientific and technological knowledge, as well as recent advancements, regarding ellipsometry and related techniques.  International participants are welcome and expressly encouraged.

    The Organizing Committee consists of:  Eva Schubert (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), Megan Stokey (Milwaukee School of Engineering), Alyssa Mock (Weber State University), Marcel Junige (University of Colorado Boulder), Rafał Korlacki (J. A. Woollam Co., Inc.), Ufuk Kılıç (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), Preston Sorensen (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), Yousra Traouli (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), and Mathias Schubert (University of Nebraska-Lincoln).  Additional Committees for specific tasks are still being formed and will be announced soon.  Volunteers are cordially invited!

    Distinguished Tutorial and Invited Speakers are anticipated to cover ellipsometry fundamentals, as well as more specialized applications.  A Call for Abstracts, including detailed submission instructions, will be circulated soon.

    Exhibitor information and a Prospectus for sponsorship opportunities are currently in preparation and will be provided very soon.

    Meanwhile, please mark your calendars and stay tuned for further announcements!  We will disseminate all information via the AWE-1 website, the NAEA LinkedIn Group, and an AWE-1 email newsletter.
