The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a $482,504 Project Grant to the University of Michigan's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. This research initiative develops a novel super-resolution acoustic diagnostics framework based on wavelength down-conversion technology. The project will produce acoustic imaging systems capable of converting sound-based information into coherent fields with significantly shorter wavelengths, enabling photographic-like images with superior resolution compared to conventional acoustic diagnostic methods. Rather than requiring electronically synchronized sensor arrays that increase power consumption and complexity, the approach utilizes metasurface lens systems to achieve high-resolution imaging applicable to biotechnology, medical imaging, ocean monitoring, and autonomous robotics. Beyond core research deliverables, the project advances "AI-ready diagnostics" by generating acoustic representations that resemble standard photographic images, enabling direct analysis using established computer-vision algorithms rather than requiring new artificial intelligence tools to interpret complex acoustic signals. The award includes substantial education and outreach components, including a summer undergraduate program in acoustics from partner institutions, modernization of an advanced acoustics course curriculum, and public outreach workshops designed to increase understanding of acoustics-based technologies. This funding supports fundamental engineering research under NSF program CFDA 47.041 (Engineering), aligning with national priorities in advanced sensing and instrumentation technologies.Federal Project Grant Summary
