The University of Nebraska received a 5-year, $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, effective July 1, 2024. The grant supports an integrated research and education program to enable reliable wideband connectivity and advanced wireless communications through the use of terahertz (THz) frequencies for 6G wireless networks. The key research objectives include characterizing THz propagation channels, developing statistical models for THz networks, and designing self-adaptive THz systems to enable a dynamic "last mile" wireless connectivity solution, particularly in rural areas. The grant also funds educational initiatives to promote convergence education, interdisciplinary research opportunities, entrepreneurial skill development, and responsible innovation through community engagement. No subawards are planned under this grant.
