Track 1 EFRI DCL: Planning Grant: Brain Inspired Intelligence Distributing High Efficiency RF/Analog Signal Processing Circuit

这项提议的目标是在佛罗里达农工大学(FAMU)组建一个多元化的研究团队，计划相应的活动，并制定研究任务。FAMU是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学，旨在为工程节能电路和人工智能开展大脑启发动力学研究。拟议的研究计划将利用各领域的专业知识，开发大脑启发的智能分布高效射频信号处理电路，可应用于5G/6G宽带无线通信、物联网、国家安全、雷达、量子计算、智慧城市和智能医疗等。规划拨款活动将催化将所有传统上服务不足的人群纳入未来美国工程劳动力发展和研究创新。该项目致力于组建一支多学科研究团队，在神经科学、无线通信、信号处理、高频电路和系统设计以及新材料设计方面拥有专业知识。项目期间将开展的规划资助活动包括：1)组织多个讲习班，邀请来自主要机构内部或外部的不同领域的演讲者；2)有组织地指导PI组建不同的研究团队；3)指导活动，以克服协作活动中地理距离的挑战；4)通过与不同领域的专家协调，制定研究计划和任务；5)促进少数族裔、妇女和代表性不足的学生发展他们的STEM职业生涯。该项目的规划活动将显著提高FAMU参与和领导中型研究项目的能力和能力，这些项目探索变革性的研究想法，以应对国家重大挑战和社会需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this proposal is to form a diverse research team, plan corresponding activities, and develop research tasks at Florida A&M University (FAMU), an Historically Black College and University, aimed at conducting research on brain-inspired dynamics for engineering energy-efficient circuits and artificial intelligence. The proposed research plan will leverage the expertise in various fields to develop brain inspired intelligence distributing high efficiency RF signal processing circuits which can be applied to 5G/6G wideband wireless communication, IoT, national security, radar, quantum computing, smart city, and smart health etc. The planning grant activities will catalyze the inclusion of all traditionally under-served populations in engineering in future U.S. engineering workforce development and research innovation. This project focuses on forming a multidisciplinary research team with expertise in neuroscience, wireless communication, signal processing, high frequency circuit and system design, and novel material design. Planning grant activities that will be carried out during the project period include 1) organize multiple workshops, inviting speakers in different fields from internal or outside of primary institution; 2) structured mentoring the PI in the execution of forming diverse research teams; 3) directed activities to overcome the challenge of geographic distance in collaborative activities; 4) develop the research plan and tasks through coordinating with experts in varied fields; 5) promote minority, women, and underrepresented students to develop their STEM careers. The planning activities in this project will significantly enhance the capability and capacity of FAMU to participate in and lead mid-scale research projects exploring transformative research ideas that address national grand challenges and societal needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
