Emory University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $399,930 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) beginning September 1, 2026, and concluding August 31, 2029. The award funds development of a plasmonic biosensing platform that converts optical measurements into direct electrical signals through quantum tunneling processes. Rather than relying on conventional spectrometer-based optical detection, the technology uses nanoscale plasmonic structures with fixed-wavelength light excitation to detect refractive-index changes in real-time through electrical current readout. This approach eliminates the need for complex optical equipment, wavelength tuning, and precise light-source alignment, enabling smaller, more robust, and more cost-effective sensors suitable for deployment outside laboratory environments. The project deliverables encompass development of a current-mode plasmonic sensing platform based on optical rectification in tunnel junctions, with anticipated applications in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and chemical detection. The award also includes an education and outreach component supporting advanced training for graduate and undergraduate students in materials and device engineering, complemented by K–12 outreach activities designed to build interest in science and engineering careers. As a major NSF Engineering research recipient with a portfolio dominated by project grants, Emory will conduct the research at its Atlanta, Georgia location.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
