URE Site- Space-Defense Undergraduate Research Experience
Abstract
We propose to establish an Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) program during the summer of 2023. This program will involve multiple research projects of interest to the United States Space Force and the United States Air Force including solid-state electronics, photonics, magnetics, biotechnology, robotics, space physics, and advanced materials. The proposed URE will provide seven students from Clemson University and three from South Carolina State University (SCSU) the opportunity to pursue eight to ten weeks of directed research in these areas of science and engineering, including material and device design, fabrication, characterization, modeling, synthesis, and analysis. By combining electrical and computer engineering, materials science and engineering, bioengineering, chemistry, and physics disciplines in this program, we will employ a broad approach to the research experience. Faculty members on the URE team currently conduct independent, interdisciplinary, and industry-coordinated studies in diverse areas ranging from fundamental materials, physics, and chemistry to functional devices, circuits, and systems. This has been facilitated largely by leveraging Clemson University’s significant emphasis and investment in advanced materials and related technologies, and by linking physics and materials processing programs to integrated multifunctional devices and circuits at the micro and nanometer scale. Thus, our underlying research paradigm of materials-to-devices-to-systems will be adopted in a significant portion the proposed URE program.
