The Technical University of Moldova organised the 10th International Symposium on Dielectric Materials and Applications, ISyDMA’10. The event was held from 1 to 3 July 2026.
ISyDMA’10 focused on materials that underpin many modern technologies, from sensors and electronic devices to energy solutions and biomedical applications. During the conference, researchers discussed ways to improve these materials and explore their use in industry, medicine and environmental protection.
The symposium brought an international community of researchers, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, engineers and materials specialists to Chișinău. The fields represented included physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. Around 150 participants from 25 to 30 countries took part in this year’s edition. Previous ISyDMA editions have been hosted in different countries, and organising the 10th edition in Chișinău strengthened UTM’s presence within this scientific network.
“UTM was selected to host ISyDMA’10 thanks to the research school developed here around the Centre for Amorphous and Nanostructured Materials Engineering. Specialists and PhD graduates have been trained here, and the university’s scientific contribution has helped UTM gain international recognition in this field.”
Researchers presented their papers before scientific committees, while the format of the event encouraged direct exchange between researchers and engineers.
Among the topics presented were:
- dielectric materials for electronics and photonics;
- chalcogenide glasses and wide-bandgap semiconductors;
- dielectric devices for biotechnology and industry;
- emerging materials, insulators and functional devices;
- sensors, nanomaterials and thin films;
- energy storage and photovoltaic technologies;
- environmental protection and water treatment;
- ceramics, microfabrication and optical structures;
- artificial intelligence modelling in materials research.
During the conference, UTM researchers Veaceslav Ursaki and Vadim Morari presented a paper on metal oxide films, examining how material composition and technological conditions influence their surface, wettability and optical properties. The research was carried out at UTM’s National Centre for Materials Study and Testing.
“ISyDMA’10 brings together research in dielectric materials, optoelectronics, nanoelectronics and sensors, as well as related topics such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing. These fields are directly connected to the teaching and research activity of the Technical University of Moldova and offer students opportunities to continue their research at master’s and doctoral levels, in applied areas related to microelectronics, information technologies and modern materials.”
For UTM, ISyDMA’10 served as a forum for international scientific exchange. Researchers discussed advanced materials, sensors, biomedical applications, energy solutions and environmental technologies.
By organising this symposium, the Technical University of Moldova continues to support applied research, scientific partnerships and the connection between academic research and areas of real economic relevance. The event also reinforces UTM’s role in the technological development of the Republic of Moldova.
