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

电介质和压电学I/UCRC将致力于不断探索新的功能介电和压电材料以及新的集成战略，以扩大对基础知识的理解，推动现有技术的发展，并为颠覆性创新提供途径。S教授的专业知识融合了传统电介质、有机复合材料、电化学、薄膜科学以及微电子材料和方法。中心？S的教职员工提供基本的学术见解和实验灵活性，以推动对下一代材料的科学研究，而供应链上的行业合作伙伴对新产品概念和消费者需求带来独特的见解，以建立对下一代设备的技术拉动。I/UCRC负责电工和压电学，旨在通过与行业的接触，发展多样化的人力资本，提高科学研究、基础设施和社会影响力。通过有针对性的招聘工作，CDP计划整合中心不同的教职员工和学生群体，特别是来自代表人数不足的群体(女性和少数族裔)和退伍军人的参与者。此外，该中心还打算与具有战略意义的国际机构发展关系，以增强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旨在通过推动支撑这些行业关键技术的材料来影响我国-S能源、交通、安全和医疗基础设施。

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.
