  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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!

  8. Research Theoreticalmodeling Simulation software Experiments

  9. 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

  10. How is Research Funded? • Government Funding • Department of Defense • Department of Energy • etc… • Private Funding • Industry and university cooperation • Private research institutions

  11. 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 • … • The authors assume full responsibility of the content, and declare that they don’t represent any mentioned institution

  12. Our Project • OPTICAL ANTENNAS • SEMICONDUCTORS • OPTO-ELECTRONICS

  13. Radiating and receiving antennas • Physical dimensions are related to wavelength. • wavelength=(speed of light)/(frequency) =c/f • Device that transforms guided signal into radiated electromagnetic waves and vice versa • 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 =1.5m f=20-400 MHz =15-0.75m f=400-800 MHz =75-38 cm f=1-2 GHz =30-15cm f= 5 THz =60m

  14. 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

  15. 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 = 1931012 Hz (f ≈ 2106f of cell phone)

  16. University of California Irvine (www.uci.edu) Schools • Engineering (e.g., electrical, mechanical, chemical, etc.) • Science (e.g, biological, physical, social, etc.) • Humanities, Law • Medicine • and many more….
