Coupled Laboratory and Computational Investigation of Coronal Mass Ejection Dynamics

Abstract

The project will use pre-existing equipment to construct the only measurement system at the University of New Mexico (UNM) that is capable of RF measurements on photonic devices, filling an existing hole in our capabilities. The demographics of the state provide a unique opportunity to strongly impact underrepresented minority groups. Hispanics constitute 46.3% of the population and the state has the second highest Native American population by percentage (9.4%) and the 4th highest by population (193,222). The project is expected to support two graduate students and one undergraduate student for the three-year duration and the PI has a strong history of hiring students from underrepresented groups. The PI has been in contact with Dr. Santanu Das in the Communications and Networking Program within the Electronics, Sensors, and Networks Division at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) about the proposed project. Dr. Das has confirmed that the proposed project is well aligned with the missions of ONR and has expressed his strong support in an email message to the PI.
