Project Title: Partnership for
Photonic Metamaterials - Partnership for
Research and Education in Materials (PREM) |
|
Partnership for Photonic Metamaterials, includes
investigators from the Center for Materials Research at Norfolk State
University; the Center for Materials Research at Cornell University; and both
the Birck Nanotechnology Center and the Network for Computational Nanotechnology
at Purdue University. Its central research theme is the mutual enhancement of
(1) optical gain and other optical responses in dielectric media and (2) surface
plasmons in metallic particles and aggregates.
The PREM's education program will seek to establish a complete academic
pipeline for underrepresented minority groups, starting with efforts to attract
high-school students into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics
disciplines. Then, through specially developed educational materials, class
work, research training, mentoring and exchange programs within the partnership,
the pipeline will carry the students through the doctoral level.
