I UCRC Phase II: ASU Research Site of the NSF Net-Centric and Cloud Software and Systems I UCRC

I UCRC Phase II: ASU Research Site of the NSF Net-Centric and Cloud Software and Systems I UCRC Phase 2 Renewal; ASU Research Site of the NSF Net-centric and Cloud Software and Systems I/UCRC The objective of the ASU NCSS Phase 2 proposal is to continue operating as an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). The ASU Site brings several complementary research capabilities to the current Net Centric research thrusts. Specific ASU NCSS research areas include digital signal and image processing, multimedia systems, sensor networks, information theory and wireless communications. These research areas are critical to future Net-Centric Systems for a wide range of application domains. The site has already established the necessary intellectual base and marketing infrastructure to attract and retain industry partner for Phase 2s. For the past five years the ASU Site has recruited several paying members including: Intel Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Freescale, Raytheon Missile System, LG Electronics, Brainstorm Technology, Sprint and others. And the ASU site has received additional letters of intend to join the center. Letters from General Dynamics, G4 Matrix, Poundra, Lockheed Martin and Sprint have been received to start or renew memberships. The mission of the Phase 2 ASU Net Centric site is to develop signal and information processing foundations for nextgeneration integrated multidisciplinary Net Centric sensing applications in biomedicine, defense, energy, and sustainability, environmental technologies, interactive media, wireless communications, and vehicular systems. Core faculty researchers come from several ASU colleges. SenSIP has also affiliated members from the Arts, Media, and Engineering (AME) school, Speech and Hearing Department, and the Arizona Institute for Nano-Electronics. The goals of the ASU NCSS Site are consistent with Net centric, namely: a) to advance the state of the art in sensing theory and applications, b) to produce a highly trained workforce that will support emerging research and development activities, and c) to contribute to a sustainable economic growth and improve quality of life. REU Supplement: I/UCRC Phase 2: ASU Research Site of the NSF Net-Centric and Cloud Software and Systems I/UCRC We propose an REU supplement to our I/UCRC Phase 2: ASU Research Site of the NSF Net-Centric and Cloud Software and Systems I/UCRC to support an undergraduate student during the academic year 2018-19 including part of the summer of 2019. The REU student will focus on analytics obtained from an ion-channel sensor platform at the Arizona State Biodesign Institute in Tempe. The student will benefit from knowledge of the ASU team from prior work in this area. The student will be developing signal processing software and algorithms for ion-channel sensors. Ion-channel sensors can be used for diverse applications including detection of biothreats, DNA sequence analysis, and water quality assessment. By exposing the student to DSP software and machine learning classification algorithms for sensors, we prepare them not only for industry research and applications but also for DoD related areas associated with biothreats. The collaboration with two different companies through our industry consortium and participation of the student in our industry consortium meetings will expose the student to several other sensor and DSP topics, and will provide a broader perspective for Electrical Engineering research. The REU will also enhance the ability of the student to articulate research to stakeholders. We will hold several sessions for REU student presentation and engage CREST that does assessment of REU students for us.
