The IEN Seed Grant\u2019s primary purpose is to give first or second year graduate students in various disciplines working on original and un-funded research in micro- and nano-scale projects the opportunity to access the most advanced academic cleanroom space in the Southeast. In addition to accessing the high-level fabrication, lithography, and characterization tools in the labs, the students will have a chance to learn cleanroom and tool methodology and to consult with the research staff of the IEN Advanced Technology Team. The Seed Grant program\u2019s secondary purpose is to give faculty with novel research topics the ability to develop preliminary data in order to pursue follow-up funding sources.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis competition is offered biannually, in the spring and fall.\u0026nbsp; The 4 student winners for this award cycle come from various schools across campus, and will be provided no-cost access to the IEN cleanrooms and labs. In keeping with the interdisciplinary mission of IEN, the projects that will be enabled by the grants include MEMS, electronics, batteries, and optoelectronics research.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Fall 2014-2015 IEN Seed Grant Award winners are:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ESerife Tol (PI Alper Erturk, Mechanical Engineering), \u003Cem\u003EBistable Snap-through MEMS Systems for Ultra-broadband Nonlinear Energy Harvesting from Elastoacoustic Wave\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EXinyi Gong (PIs Erik Shipton, Raj Pulugurtha, and Rao Tummala, GTRI, Packaging Research Center, and Electrical and Computer Engineering), \u003Cem\u003EMagnetic Nanoarrays for Ultra-miniaturized Micro- and mm-wave Structure\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EZhipeng Pan (PI Shuman Xia, Mechanical Engineering), \u003Cem\u003ENanofabrication\u003C\/em\u003E \u003Cem\u003Eof Lithuim-Ion Battery Electrodes with Embedded Multiphysics Sensors\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EJun Chen (PI ZL Wang, Materials Science and Engineering), \u003Cem\u003EPiezo-phototronic Vertical Nanowire-LEDs Array for Reconfigurabel\/Tunable Optoelectronics\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAwardees will present their results of their research efforts at the annual IEN User Day in 2015.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology at Georgia Tech has announced the winners for the 2014-15 Fall Seed Grant Awards.
