Aeluma’s CEO Jonathan Klamkin to receive IPRM Award
Aeluma Inc of Goleta, CA, USA says that, on 25 May at the Compound Semiconductor Week (CSW2026) conference in Kumamoto, Japan (24-28 May), its president & CEO Jonathan Klamkin Ph.D. will receive the Indium Phosphide and Related Materials (IPRM) Award for pioneering contributions to indium phosphide (InP) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) photonic and electronic materials and devices, and their heterogenous integration on mismatched substrates.
Administered by the Compound Semiconductor Week (CSW) Award Committee, the IPRM Award recognizes individuals who have made “outstanding contributions to the indium phosphide community.”
Aeluma has pioneered the heterogeneous integration of compound semiconductors on mismatched substrates. The technology provides a viable path to manufacturing high-performance electronics and photonics with large-volume microelectronics manufacturing. Aeluma reckons that its technology has the potential to overcome supply chain constraints and enable scaling and broad market adoption across AI infrastructure, consumer sensing, defense & aerospace, and quantum.
“The award reflects the wonderful mentors, colleagues, researchers, and engineers I’ve worked with throughout my career,” says Klamkin.
