Author Notification Date: June 23, 2026

Papers are solicited for this conference describing original work in the field of ultrasonics. A 1-page abstract should be submitted according to the specifications below.  

Each abstract will receive careful review and evaluation by the Symposium Technical Program Committee. Evaluation criteria will include originality of the work, contribution to the state of the art, and overall interest to the ultrasonics community.

If your abstract is accepted, authors will be required to upload a pre-recorded video. These will be uploaded to the virtual platform. We highly encourage authors to have a presenter who is onsite at the conference to present live. 

By submitting an abstract, authors acknowledge and agree to comply with these requirements and understand that failure to do so may result in restrictions on current or future participation in this conference.

  • Any cited reference within the abstract must be anonymized.

  • Please do not include sponsored research funding information in the abstract.

  • If your submission includes an ethical statement, please do not include specific review board names. Instead, use more generic phrases such as ‘The protocol was approved by an institutional review board’.
