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

介电和压电的I/UCRC将继续探索新的功能介电和压电材料以及新的集成策略，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？的集体专业知识融合了传统的电子束，有机复合材料，电化学，薄膜科学和微电子材料和方法。中心？的教师提供基本的学术见解和实验灵活性，以产生对下一代材料的科学推动，而来自整个供应链的行业合作伙伴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拉动。和社会影响力。 通过有针对性的招聘工作，CDP计划在中心整合教师和学生的多元化群体，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，该中心还打算与战略性国际机构建立关系，以提高CDP的研究能力，并为研究生提供国际研究机会。中心研究和人力资本开发目标对我国的影响？通过推进支撑这些部门关键技术的材料，为能源、交通、安全和医疗基础设施提供技术支持。

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 microelectronic materials and methods. The center?s faculty members offer fundamental academic 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.
