APS -APS March Meeting 2017 - Event - Condensed Matter Physics at ONR -- A Nanoelectronics Perspective

摘要

As a mission agency within the Department of Defense, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) currently does not have a program exclusively dedicated to condensed matter physics (CMP) research. Yet many CMP related topics are being funded under various programs scattered throughout the agency. In this talk I will provide an example of such a program -- the ONR Nanoelectronics program, that I currently manage, and highlight some of the CMP related activities within the program. I may also mention a few topics that are funded by other ONR program officers. Finally, in addressing the theme of the session, I will describe the ONR Young Investigator Program (YIP) -- its brief history, solicitation and evaluation processes involved, and provide a few examples from recent YIP projects.
