Welcome to USE2020

This symposium was first held in December 1980 to bring together experts from diverse fields of ultrasonics, including both fundamental and applied topics. Since then, innovations in ultrasonics have been presented and discussed at this symposium. The symposium consists of single-session oral presentations and poster presentations. The symposium has accepted presentations in English from all over the world since 2004, and one of the three meeting days is reserved for fully International Session.

Moreover, all posters have been presented in English since 2006. Over 250 papers and 400 participants are expected, including a plenary talk by the distinguished lecturer of IEEE UFFC. Authors of presented papers are eligible to submit regular paper or brief note to a Special Issue on Ultrasonic Electronics in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP).

The Young Scientist Awards will be selected from presenters at the symposium, and the Best Paper Awards will be selected from the papers published in the Special Issue. USE2020 will be held as an online symposium. We welcome you to USE2020, and hope that you will enjoy a fruitful conference online.
