I/UCRC: Multi-university I/UCRC for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics

I/UCRC介电和压电将致力于不断探索新的功能介电和压电材料和新的集成策略，以扩大基本理解，推动现有技术的发展，并为颠覆性创新提供途径。CDP吗?我们的专业知识融合了传统的介电学，有机复合材料，电化学，薄膜科学和微电子材料和方法。中心吗?学院的教职员工提供了基本的学术见解和实验灵活性，以推动下一代材料的科学发展，而来自整个供应链的行业合作伙伴则带来了关于新产品概念和消费者需求的独特见解，以建立下一代设备的技术吸引力。I/UCRC介电和压电材料项目旨在通过与工业界的合作，开发多样化的人力资本，加强科学研究、基础设施和社会影响。通过有针对性的招聘工作，CDP计划在该中心整合多元化的教师和学生群体，特别是来自代表性不足的群体（女性和少数民族）和退伍军人的参与者。此外，中心还打算发展与战略性国际机构的关系，以提高CDP的研究能力，并为研究生提供国际研究机会。中心研究与人力资本开发目标对我国的影响？通过推进支撑这些领域关键技术的材料，为美国的能源、交通、安全和医疗基础设施提供支持。

The I/UCRC for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics will engage in the continuous exploration for new functional dielectric and piezoelectric materials and new strategies for integration that expand fundamental understanding, that drive the evolution of existing technologies, and that provide the pathways for disruptive innovation. The CDP?s collective expertise merges conventional dielectrics, organic composites, electrochemistry, thin-film science, and microelectronicmaterials and methods. The center?s faculty members offer fundamentalacademic insight and experimental flexibility to generate the science push towards next-generation materials, while industry partners from across the supply chain bring unique insight regarding new product concepts and consumer needs to establish a technology pull for next generation devices.The I/UCRC for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics aims to develop a diverse human capital and enhance scientific research, infrastructure, and societal impact through engagement with industry. Through targeted recruiting efforts, the CDP plans to integrate a diverse group of faculty and students in the Center, particularly participants from underrepresented groups (females and minorities) and veterans. In addition, the center intends to develop relationships with strategic international institutions to enhance the research capabilities of the CDP and to provide international research opportunities for graduate students. Center research and human capital development targets impact of our nation?s energy, transportation, security and medical infrastructure by advancing materials that underpin critical technologies for these sectors.
