This National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Traineeship (NRT) Program grant of $2,475,715 awarded to The Johns Hopkins University will prepare graduate students for careers in the microelectronics industry. Under CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education, the award will fund an innovative interdisciplinary training program that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the design and fabrication of next-generation semiconductor materials and devices. Key program elements include hands-on labs, funding oversight training, business plan presentations, industry internships, and networking with domain experts. The four research thrusts cover low-dimensional and quantum materials, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, computing hardware, and new electronics applications. The goal is to equip trainees with the technical skills, business acumen, and communication abilities needed to drive innovation in the microelectronics field and meet the industry's growing workforce demands. This comprehensive training program puts students at the center of their learning and career preparation.
