Texas ECE PhD student Jack Kramer has received the Best Student Paper Award from the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium (IFCS) 2023 for his work on "Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Acoustic Resonator with High Q of 237 and k2 of 5.1% at 50.74 GHz.” Jack is supervised by Prof. Ruochen Lu in the UT RF Acoustic Microsystems Group.

IEEE IFCS aims to highlight manufacturing methods and technologies that realize emerging products in MEMS resonator-based devices, quartz micro-clocks, and advanced atomic frequency standards. The 2023 IFCS was held in Toyama, Japan, from May 16-19, 2023.

Kramer received his BS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from The University of New Mexico in 2021 and joined Texas ECE in August 2021.
