The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $135,000 Project Grant under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award, with an effective date of October 1, 2024, supports a collaborative research project focused on "Curving Data Around Obstacles Using Sub-THz Accelerating Beams". The research aims to explore novel solutions for enabling wireless data networks to effectively propagate high-frequency communications signals around obstructions, leveraging curved beam trajectories. The project seeks to lay the foundation for the use of self-accelerating beams in mobile wireless local area networks (LANs) operating at ultra-high frequencies. The award includes efforts to broaden participation by underrepresented groups at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. No subawards are planned under this grant.
