Young Faculty Award
Abstract
(U) The goal of the Young Faculty Award program is to encourage new faculty members of academic research institutions with innovative ideas and concepts to participate in sponsored research programs that can provide revolutionary capabilities to future defense systems. The program will also help innovative researchers better understand the needs of the DoD and interest them in working on problems with a defense relevance. The initial phase of this program focuses on speculative technologies for greatly enhancing microsystems technologies and in the development of ideas and concepts that can lead to focused defense research programs and associated development activities to deliver a compete technology. Current activities include revolutionary advances in physics, materials, and devices to enable breakthroughs in electronics, photonics, micro and nano electro mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), architectures, and algorithms.
