Funding and Support
Grants and Contracts
National Science Foundation CAREER Award No. 0748712
Our research is jointly supported by the Division of Materials Research and the Chemistry Division of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate of the National Science Foundation under contract no. 0748712. The award, entitled "CAREER: Three-Dimensional Multi-Scale Metallodielectric Materials", provides support over a period of five years (2/15/2008 - 12/31/2013) for the investigation of new processes for creating optically functional three-dimensional metallodielectric meta-materials.
ACS Petroleum Research Fund
Our research in polypeptide nanotemplating was supported by the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society, under grant no. 42322-G5 during the period 9/1/2005 - 8/31/2007.
UCF Office of Research and Commercialization
Initial infrastructure for research activities in the NPM Group was funded under a start-up grant from the UCF Office of Research and Commercialization.
Corporate Support
Coherent, Inc. has supported the NPM Group by generously discounting the cost of our Mira and Verdi-6 laser system through the CREOL Industrial Affiliated Program.
Nikon Instruments, Inc. has supported research activities in the NPM Group by generously discounting the cost of our TE2000-U microscope system through the CREOL Industrial Affiliated Program.
Horiba-Jobin-Yvon has supported research activities in the NPM Group by generously discounting the cost of our TRIAX 320 system through their membership in the CREOL Industrial Affiliates Program.
Photon Design has supported research activities in the NPM Group by generously providing a free copy of their powerful photonics simulation software, OmniSim. OmniSim uses the finite-difference time-domain approach to model the electromagnetic behavior of 2- and 3D photonic structures. This contribution was awarded in response to a proposal the NPM Group submitted that described our long term research goals in photonics materials and devices development.
