The University of Utah received a $521,455 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. The award supports development of an electrically reconfigurable chiroptical heterostructure platform based on twisted aligned one-dimensional chiral quantum materials and phase change materials, specifically utilizing carbon nanotubes and nonvolatile phase change materials as example systems. The primary deliverables include a scalable, electrically controlled chiroptical device platform that addresses current limitations in weak optical responses and inflexible electrical reconfigurability, coupled with a high-performance computational solver capable of fast simulation and inverse design for chiral materials and complex photonic structures. The research platform is designed to enable functional devices and fundamental scientific exploration in applications spanning sensing, imaging, computing, and quantum photonic technologies. The project integrates substantial educational and workforce development components, including community building, multilevel student training, curriculum development, and outreach activities to cultivate future engineers and scientists specializing in semiconductor optics and optoelectronics. The resulting heterostructure and solver framework are intended to be extensible across a broad range of materials and device structures, providing research tools and methodologies applicable to the broader scientific and engineering community beyond the initial carbon nanotube and phase change material applications.Federal Grant Award Summary
