Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems

光电子计算系统工程研究中心在其获得NSF资助的第三年，开发了一项研究和教育计划，重点研究用于数字计算、信号处理和类神经信息处理的三种类型的光电子系统，并在光电子材料和器件方面有广泛的研究支持基础。两个校区的教育影响都很大，包括新的和更新的课程，以及为本科生提供研究经验的项目，其中包括为其他机构的学生提供机会。行业支持和参与力度大，完成了相当大的技术转让。已经取得了许多发明，并获得了几项专利。这项行动是为了五年的资金更新，第一年的基本水平为240万美元，未来几年的增加将与工程研究中心计划的进一步进展和可用资金相称。未来5年的研究将按照最初确定的方向进行。该奖项还将资助该中心的本科生研究经验推广计划，并将在本年度支持来自其他机构的五名本科生。

The Engineering Research Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems, in its third year of NSF funding, has developed a research and education program focused on three types of optoelectronic systems for numerical digital computing, signal processing, and neural-like information processing, with a broad supporting base of research in optoelectronic materials and devices. Educational impact has been great on both campuses, including new and updated courses, and a program of research experiences for undergraduates which includes opportunities for students from other institutions. Industry support and participation is strong, and considerable technology transfer has been accomplished. A number of inventions have been made, and several patents have been received. This action is for a five-year renewal of funding, with the first year to be at the base level of $2.4 million and increases in future years to be commensurate with further progress and funds available to the Engineering Research Centers Program. The research in the coming five-years will proceed in the directions originally set. This award also, is to fund the Center's Research Experiences for Undergraduates outreach program, and will support five undergraduates from other institutions in the current year.
