The University of Michigan was awarded a $500,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems to support research titled "CAREER: A NOVEL GALLIUM OXIDE BASED TRANSISTOR FOR LOW-WASTE POWER CONVERSION APPLICATIONS" from February 1, 2021 to January 31, 2026.
The grant supports the development of gallium oxide based transistors for applications in low-waste power conversion under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA #47.041). Specifically, the University will conduct research to advance transistor technology using gallium oxide materials which could enable more efficient power conversion systems and help reduce energy waste. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through innovative engineering research and education. This award aims to further those goals by exploring novel materials that may lead to more sustainable power technologies.
