WHAT IS ENGINEERING? ENGINEERING:
A profession of ACQUIRING and APPLYING scientific knowledge in order to design new processes and products! It combines: Natural sciences
Physics, Chemistry, Material science, etc. Mathematics
RESEARCH IN SCIENCE Problem type: What is the
underlying mechanism/theory? Scientific method
Define the problem Research what’s been done before Use creativity!
Form a hypothesis (testable prediction)
Test hypothesis (actual experiment) Analyze data (could be more involved
than you would expect) Form conclusions Take appropriate actions based on
conclusions
RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING Research in applied science and
product development Process
Define the problem Research what’s been done before Lots of thinking
Create criteria May be known Use scientific method to determine
Design product Computer simulations
Optimization Improve it!
Build a prototype and TEST!
RESEARCH
SIMULATION SOFTWARE
EXPERIMENTS
THEORETICAL MODELING
WHAT IS YOUR RESEARCH TOPIC?
A PhD student’s answer usually sounds as strange as this:“I am fighting windmills!”
Don Quixote
Research is a very deep and focused activity driven by passion and curiosity!
Thousands of researchers contribute to the knowledge of humanity
HOW IS RESEARCH FUNDED? Government Funding
Department of Defense Department of Energy etc…
Private Funding Industry and university cooperation Private research institutions
MISSIONS OF NSF Initiate and support, scientific and engineering
research and programs through grants and contracts Award graduate fellowships in the sciences and in
engineering Support activities related to international
cooperation, national security and the effects of scientific and technological applications upon society
Support activities designed to increase the participation of women and minorities and others underrepresented in science and technology

OUR PROJECT OPTICAL ANTENNAS SEMICONDUCTORS OPTO-ELECTRONICS
RADIATING AND RECEIVING ANTENNAS
Device that transforms guided signal into radiated electromagnetic waves and vice versa
f=400-800 MHz=75-38 cm
f=20-400 MHz=15-0.75m
f=1-2 GHz=30-15cm
f= 5 THz=60m
Physical dimensions are related to wavelength. wavelength=(speed of light)/(frequency)
=c/f
A cellular phone antenna works at around 109 Hz=1GHz
Our design frequency:193 Terahertz (1012Hz=1THz), almost 200,000 times the frequency of your phone! f= 193 THz
=1.5m
SEMICONDUCTORS AND SILICON Semiconductor: Neither insulator, nor
conductor Controllable behavior, switching from insulator to
conductor or vice versa Basics of electronic devices
Silicon: One of the most abundant elements
OPTICAL ANTENNA INTEGRATED WITH SILICON
Micron-level design Fiberoptics integrated
with semiconductors! Control of radiation level
λ = 1550 nm (1 nm = 10-9 m) f = c / λ = 1931012 Hz (f ≈ 2106f of cell phone)
