Fiber Optic Communications and Ultrabroadband Systems (FOCUS): UNM's Connection One IUCRC Center

新墨西哥大学提议加入亚利桑那州立大学(牵头机构)、亚利桑那大学、伦斯勒理工学院、俄亥俄州立大学和夏威夷大学现有的产业/大学通信电路和系统合作研究中心(连接一)。拟议的研究地点将侧重于光纤和无线(超宽带)通信和系统，从而增加中心的研究能力和活动。拟议研究网站的一些主要目标包括与行业合作伙伴合作确定一套定义明确的初步研究项目，向潜在的行业合作伙伴推销前瞻性研究和开发愿景，以及建立一支致力于建立拟议网站的核心行业成员团队。拟议中的中心将开展对包括空军研究实验室、桑迪亚国家实验室、Encore、Gridline等在内的广泛公司具有重要意义的研究项目。拟建场地的活动将包括教师研究人员、研究生和本科生与行业代表一起工作。拟议的研究地点还将使代表不足的群体和少数族裔学生更多地参与与工业有关的研究活动。

The University of New Mexico is proposing to join the Arizona State University (lead institution), University of Arizona, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ohio State University and the University of Hawaii existing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Communications Circuits and Systems Center (Connection One). The proposed research site would increase the research capabilities and activities of the Center by focusing on fiber-optics and wireless (ultra-wideband) communications and systems. Some key objectives of the proposed research site include defining an initial set of well-defined research projects in collaboration with the industry partners, to market a forward-looking research and development vision to potential industry partners, and to build a team of core industry members committed to establishing the proposed site. The proposed center will pursue research projects of importance to a broad range of companies including Air Force Research Lab, Sandia National Lab, Encore, Gridline and others. The activities at the proposed site will involve faculty researchers, graduate and undergraduate students working together with industrial representatives. The proposed research site will also have increased participation of under-represented groups and minority students in industrially-relevant research activities.
