The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Princeton University $306,340 on October 15, 2026, to develop a predictive device physics framework for high-performance organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project, a collaboration between Princeton University and Wake Forest University, will establish fundamental understanding of how OECTs operate and create a simulation-guided design framework to accelerate development of high-performance OECTs. OECTs translate biological ion-flow signals into electrical currents, positioning them as ideal hardware for medical implants, wearable health monitors, and other personalized healthcare technologies that interface with soft, living biological systems. The work will enable rapid development of stable, high-performance bioelectronics for health monitoring and low-power hardware for energy-efficient green AI initiatives. The project will also train a globally competitive STEM workforce by engaging undergraduate and graduate students in cross-disciplinary research spanning polymer chemistry and device physics, integrating new bioelectronics modules into university curricula, and leveraging industrial partnerships to prepare students for leadership roles in the domestic semiconductor and biotechnology industries. Work is performed at Princeton, New Jersey, with a period of performance from October 15, 2026, through September 30, 2029. This is a Project Grant, the assistance type under which NSF funds investigator-initiated research.
