Program Director's Recommendation Proposal #1134723 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI); Shur The Connection One site at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is proposing a Phase II support (second five-year period) for the Center, including support for central personnel, evaluation and research. The center is currently comprised of the Arizona State University (lead), the University of Arizona, the University of Hawaii, and the Ohio State University as research partners. The objective of this Phase II RPI proposal is to build on and continue its successful Phase I effort as part of the "Connection One: Communications Circuits and Systems Center" (C1 Center) already funded by the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Program. The proposed program will expand the C1 research base in advancing the understanding of advanced terahertz electronics and RF devices, developing the principles of technologies for fast and secure communication, and fast and efficient optical-to-electrical signal conversion in nanoscale heterostructures. The program will also include the development of novel device designs with dual electrical/optical control and the corresponding circuit design concepts and methods. The proposed site will serve as a catalyst for the next generation of communication and data transport industries in the United States. This Research Site will serve as a focal point for collaborative research and for the education of a diverse new generation of students and scientists prepared to develop and lead the deployment of such new technologies. The Center/site will facilitate the industrial experience of students improving their job prospects and exposing them to experts from industry. The transformative nature of the program at RPI will be instrumental in engaging students, attracting them to REU, graduate programs and summer internships; it will also be a key tool towards increasing the participation of minority students in cutting edge research by recruitingthem for REU projects and establishing joint programs with HBCUs.

计划主任的建议提案#1134723伦斯勒理工学院(伦斯勒理工学院)；Shur The Connection One在伦斯勒理工学院(伦斯勒理工学院)提议为中心提供第二阶段支持(第二个五年期)，包括对中心人员、评估和研究的支持。该中心目前由亚利桑那州立大学(LEAD)、亚利桑那大学、夏威夷大学和俄亥俄州立大学组成，作为研究伙伴。这项RPI第二阶段计划的目标是在其成功的第一阶段工作的基础上继续进行，作为已经由国家科学基金会产学合作研究计划资助的“连接一：通信电路和系统中心”(C1中心)的一部分。拟议的计划将扩大C1的研究基础，促进对先进太赫兹电子学和射频设备的了解，开发快速和安全通信技术的原理，以及纳米级异质结构中快速高效的光电信号转换。该计划还将包括开发具有双重电/光控制的新型设备设计以及相应的电路设计概念和方法。拟议的选址将成为美国下一代通信和数据传输行业的催化剂。该研究网站将作为合作研究和教育准备开发和领导部署这种新技术的多样化的新一代学生和科学家的中心。该中心/网站将促进学生的工业体验，改善他们的就业前景，并将他们暴露在来自行业的专家面前。RPI项目的变革性将有助于吸引学生，吸引他们参加REU、研究生项目和暑期实习；它也将是通过为REU项目招募少数族裔学生并与HBCU建立联合项目来增加少数族裔学生参与尖端研究的关键工具。
