Adibi is the Joseph M. Pettit Chair in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and leads the Photonics Research Group.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdibi received a $145,000 award for his project, \u201cAn Ultrafast Testbed for Comprehensive Characterization of Photonics, Electronic, and Optoelectronic Properties of Integrated Nanophotonic Structures.\u201d The goal of this DURIP project is to develop an ultrafast characterization testbed for the characterization of high-speed integrated photonic devices such as high-speed integrated photonic modulators and detectors. This tool will facilitate existing research at Georgia Tech and will enable new research for the study of ultrafast, low-power integrated optoelectronic devices and systems, such as modulators, switches, and detectors. Such devices are essential in multiple applications of integrated nanophotonics, including information processing, communications and networking, sensing, and computing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdibi was one of 176 researchers representing 96 research institutions that were announced as DURIP award recipients by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) earlier this month. The program supports the purchase of state\u2011of\u2011the\u2011art equipment that augments current university capabilities or develops new capabilities to perform cutting\u2011edge defense research and associated graduate student research training.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe awards are the result of a merit competition jointly conducted by three DoD research offices: the Army Research Office, Office of Naval Research, and Air Force Office of Scientific Research. A highly competitive program, the three offices solicited proposals from university investigators conducting science and engineering research of importance to national defense. These areas include advances in materials, structures, and manufacturing science; quantum and nanosciences; computing and networks; electronics, electromagnetics, and electro\u2011optics; acoustics; neuroscience; fluid dynamics; robotics and autonomous systems; and ocean, environmental, and life sciences and engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professor\u0026nbsp; Ali Adibi has been chosen for a Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) Award by the Army Research Office.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Professor  Ali Adibi has been chosen for a Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) Award by the Army Research Office."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2016-03-23 14:46:36","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:21:09","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-03-23T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-03-23T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"265591":{"id":"265591","type":"image","title":"Ali Adibi","body":null,"created":"1449244039","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:47:19","changed":"1475894953","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:49:13","alt":"Ali Adibi","file":{"fid":"198498","name":"130729cr044.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/130729cr044_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/130729cr044_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":7490930,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/130729cr044_0.jpg?itok=4iCekwXr"}}},"media_ids":["265591"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/ali-adibi","title":"Ali Adibi"},{"url":"http:\/\/www2.ece.gatech.edu\/research\/photonics\/","title":"Photonics Research Group"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News-Article-View\/Article\/684740\/pentagon-announces-research-equipment-awards","title":"U.S. Department of Defense DURIP Awards announcement"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"2769","name":"Ali Adibi"},{"id":"171847","name":"Army Research Office"},{"id":"8246","name":"Department of Defense"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"83301","name":"Photonics Research Group"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39441","name":"Bioengineering and Bioscience"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39481","name":"National Security"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
