集成、混合和复杂系统普渡大学Saeed Mohammadi科罗拉多大学博尔德分校Zoya B.Popovic研究：异类集成、自供电无线系统智能优点：该项目考虑设计和实现一种低成本、无电池(即，不需要传统电池)、小型化、灵敏、低功耗和高效的无线收发器。该研究利用最新开发的异质集成技术，将超低功率亚阈值互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)射频接收芯片与高效功率放大器和嵌入式无源元件集成在一起。该集成系统既可以作为自供电、远距离、高数据速率的无线传感器节点，也可以作为可植入的小型化电子系统。应用包括监测体内活动、神经刺激和药物输送。广泛影响：这项研究将影响研究和教育，以及市场。这项研究将与合作机构的多个本科生和研究生课程联系起来。重点将放在通过科罗拉多大学现有的项目来吸引代表不足的本科生和研究生，包括“SMART”和“传授”项目，以及国家科学基金会颁发的研究生教育计划联盟奖(AGEP)。这项研究还将与普渡大学现有的招生计划、NSF研究生教育联盟(AGEP)奖、NSF支持的印第安纳州路易斯少数民族伙伴股票联盟(LSAMP)、NSF综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖、教育部国家需要领域研究生援助(GAANN)奖和社区服务工程项目(EPICS)计划相结合。调查人员将建立史诗和研究生课程项目。研究成果将通过科学期刊上的出版物和在技术会议上的陈述广泛传播。

Integrative, Hybrid and Complex SystemsSaeed Mohammadi, Purdue UniversityZoya B. Popovic, University of Colorado at BoulderCOLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A Heterogeneous Integrated, Self Powered Wireless SystemIntellectual Merit: This project considers the design and implementation of a wireless transceiver that is low cost, battery-less (i.e., does not require traditional batteries), miniaturized, sensitive, low power, and highly efficient. The research uses a recently developed heterogeneous integration technology to integrate an ultra-low power subthreshold complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) radio frequency (RF) receiver chip with a highly efficient power amplifier and embedded passive components. The integrated system can be used as a self-powered long-range and high data-rate wireless sensor node as well as an implantable miniaturized electronic system. Applications include monitoring in-vivo activities, nerve actuation, and drug delivery.Broader Impact: This research will impact research and education, as well as the marketplace. The research will be linked to multiple undergraduate and graduate courses at the collaborating institutions. Emphasis will be placed in attracting underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students through existing programs at the University of Colorado, including the "SMART" and "IMPART" programs and an Alliances for Graduate Education Program (AGEP) award from the National Science Foundation. This research will also be integrated with existing recruitment programs at Purdue University, an NSF Alliances For Graduate Education (AGEP) award, the NSF-supported Indiana Louis Stock Alliance for Minority Partnership (LSAMP), an NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award, a Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) award, and the Engineering Projects In Community Service (EPICS) program. The investigators will establish EPICS and graduate course projects. Research results will be disseminated broadly via publications in scientific journal and presentations at technical conferences.
