This three-year, $599,776 National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering Project Grant will support research into low-dimensional materials for transducer technologies. The University of Central Florida will engage six undergraduate/graduate students annually through the International Research Experiences for Students program to conduct research at four universities in Korea. Students will work with foreign faculty mentors to innovate transducer technologies utilizing nanoscale materials and gain global research experience. Transducers that convert energy forms are crucial components in devices like semiconductor chips. Recently explored low-dimensional materials exhibit properties well-suited for advanced transducers. Through this program, the research team will systematically study structure-property-process relations in zero-dimensional quantum dots, one-dimensional nanowires, two-dimensional layers and their hybrids to develop transducer device components with applications in areas like stretchable sensors and electrodes. This work aims to directly impact workforce development in the chip manufacturing industry, consistent with the Office of International Science and Engineering's mission to strengthen international partnerships and maintain U.S. leadership in global science.
