This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) funds the development of an innovative computational electromagnetics (CEM) framework that leverages physics-informed artificial intelligence (AI) models.
The project aims to enhance the analysis and design of on-chip optical interconnects, which are crucial for achieving ultra-high bandwidth and speeds in modern computing infrastructures. The framework will enable accurate, fast, and stable modeling of optical interconnects, facilitating the design of exascale bandwidth data-transfer networks. The AI-enabled optical interconnect designer tool (AIEOIDT) developed through this award will be made available as open-source software to encourage collaboration and innovation. This work has the potential to advance technological fields such as communication, sensing, and quantum computing.
