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.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;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\u003EThe 4 student winners from various schools across campus, along with their Principal Investigator mentors, were awarded no-cost blocks of IEN cleanroom and lab access time. In keeping with the interdisciplinary mission of IEN, the projects that will be enabled by the grants include micro- and nano-scale sensing research, biomedical research, optoelectronic research, and packaging applications research.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Fall 2013-2014 IEN Seed Grant Award winners are Virginia Liao, working with PI Brent Wagner of The Georgia Tech Research Institute, for \u003Cem\u003EA Thin Film Sensor for the Selective Detection of Low Hydrogen Concentrations; \u003C\/em\u003EHarrison Norman, working with PI Ross Ethier of the School of Biomedical Engineering, for \u003Cem\u003ELamina Cribrosa on a Chip; \u003C\/em\u003EJared Schwartz, working with PI Paul Kohl of the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, for \u003Cem\u003EMaterials and Structures Enabling Vanishing Optically Triggered Sensors; \u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;and David Brown, working with PI Satish Kumar of the School of Mechanical Engineering, for \u003Cem\u003EOn-Chip Thermoelectric Generators Using Si Nanowire Arrays\u003C\/em\u003E. \u0026nbsp;Awardees will present the results of their research efforts at the annual IEN User Day in 2014.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother round of Seed Grants will be offered in the spring of 2014.
