The 14th International Conference on Mid-IR Optoelectronics: Materials and Devices (MIOMD 2018) was successfully held in Flagstaff, Arizona from October 7-10, 2018. The conference was co-chaired and organized by Prof. Zhang and many of our group alumni and collaborator, Fisher Yu, Elizabeth Steenbergen, Stephen Sweeney, and Shane Johnson. It brought together many scientists and engineers from across the world to discuss recent progress and future trends in infrared optoelectronics. Congratulations to Maxwell Lassise and Cheng-Ying Tsai for successfully delivering their contributed presentations, and thanks to the coauthors for their hard work.
