The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program awarded Arizona State University $213,831 under a Project Grant to develop a new type of Hybrid Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (HRIS) technology. The HRIS will be designed to sense incident waves, deduce information about user and transmitter directions, and reconfigure its reflection patterns accordingly. This will enable the implementation of a smart and autonomous wireless propagation environment that can redirect signals, mitigate interference, and increase security. Key research elements include the HRIS metasurface design, compressive sensing algorithms for high-resolution propagation mapping, and experimental validation of the adaptive communications link and imaging applications. The project also includes an educational plan to engage graduate and undergraduate students in HRIS design and related research areas. No subawards are planned under this grant.
