Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems

光电计算系统工程研究中心在获得NSF资助的第三个年头，制定了以数字数字计算、信号处理和类神经信息处理三种光电系统为重点的研究和教育计划，拥有广泛的光电材料和器件研究支持基础。教育影响在两个校园都很大，包括新的和更新的课程，以及一个面向本科生的研究体验计划，其中包括为来自其他机构的学生提供机会。产业支持和参与力度大，完成了相当大的技术转移。已经做出了许多发明，并获得了几项专利。这一行动是为了延长五年的资金，第一年将保持在240万美元的基础水平，未来几年的增长将与工程研究中心计划的进一步进展和资金相称。今后五年的研究将按照原来确定的方向进行。这一奖项也是为了资助该中心的本科生研究体验推广计划，并将在本年度支持来自其他机构的五名本科生。

The Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems, in its third year of NSF funding, has developed a research and education program focused on three types of optoelectronic systems for numerical digital computing, signal processing, and neural-like information processing, with a broad supporting base of research in optoelectronic materials and devices. Educational impact has been great on both campuses, including new and updated courses, and a program of research experiences for undergraduates which includes opportunities for students from other institutions. Industry support and participation is strong, and considerable technology transfer has been accomplished. A number of inventions have been made, and several patents have been received. This action is for a five-year renewal of funding, with the first year to be at the base level of $2.4 million and increases in future years to be commensurate with further progress and funds available to the Engineering Research Centers Program. The research in the coming five-years will proceed in the directions originally set. This award also, is to fund the Center's Research Experiences for Undergraduates outreach program, and will support five undergraduates from other institutions in the current year.
