Warwick Atomic Layer Processing (WALP) 2025
About the WALP 2025 Workshop
Scientific Sessions and Topics
Full scientific programme and the abstract booklets will be released here.
-
Experimental ALP Development: Materials characterisation, continuous and area-selective ALD/ALE, spatial ALD, molecular layer deposition (MLD).
-
Multi-scale Modelling: Coating materials and ALD/ALE processes, from atomistic to continuum and device-scale (multi-physics) simulations.
-
AI/ML Applications in ALP Research: high-throughput coating and precursor materials screening and characterisation, structure-property relations, mechanisms, etc.
-
ALD/ALE Fundamentals: Reaction mechanisms, energetics, area-selectivity, simulations and and in-situ measurements.
-
ALD/ALE Applications: Energy storage, conversion, and nanoelectronics technologies, with specific focus on batteries, solar cells and CMOS semiconductors
-
Industrial Advancements: Development, scale-up, and optimisation of ALP methodologies towards energy and nanoelectronics applications.

Registration and abstracts
Delegates can register for WALP 2025 using the registration page.
Warwick-based participants should use the internal registration page, instead.
Abstracts (contributed talk / posters) can be submitted via this link.
Registration Fee
Early-bird registration fees for academics are £175 (without accommodation) and £275 (with on-site accommodation). These discounted rates are valid until 15/05/2025. The standard rates for academics are £250 (excluding accommodation) and £350 (including accommodation). The rate for industry participants is £350 (without accommodation) and £450 (including the 2-night accommodation).
On-site accommodation (bed & breakfast) covers the nights of 21st and 22nd July, and only a limited number of rooms are available, hence on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you need additional accommodation please get in touch with us.
The registration fee covers on-site accommodation (optional, at a higher rate, see above), all meals, refreshments, coffee-breaks, and the poster session. The conference dinner (July 22nd) is optional with an additional fee of £50, payable during the registration.
Key Deadlines:
Abstract submission deadlines:
Contributed talks (15th May) and Posters (15th June)
