The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Conducting groundbreaking research across four technical thrusts: AI in quantum materials, biomimetic waste remediation, wide-bandgap semiconductors, and organic/inorganic semiconductor integration. This research aims to drive innovation in semiconductor technology and provide a framework for a transformative educational model. Enhancing the collective research infrastructure and educational capabilities of the 7 participating HBCUs to tackle persistent national challenges and broaden access to advanced technological resources and opportunities for underserved communities. Establishing a sustainable online platform and knowledge repository to share resources and research findings beyond the immediate academic community, ensuring the long-term impact of the project. This award reflects NSF's mission to promote scientific progress and contribute to national prosperity and welfare for all, with a specific focus on supporting institutional capacity building efforts at Minority-Serving Institutions. The project is expected to be completed by August 31, 2027.
