Electromagnetics (EM) technologies have been a backbone for monumental global economic growth and development in numerous key industries with applications in communications, radar, space exploration, remote sensing, biomedical diagnosis, and environmental monitoring. Advances in EM have enabled phenomenal growth in wireless technologies with more recent applications in mobile biomedical monitoring/diagnosis, Internet of Things, and smart grids. The University of Hawaii has a long standing distinguished research reputation in the area of communications, with recent expansion of research activities in the broader area of wireless technologies. Available laboratory facilities include wireless testbed, indoor antenna range, multiple microwave network analysis laboratories, and a physical electronics lab for device fabrication and characterization. With this project, the University of Hawaii Team will be joining the highly successful Phase II IUCRC Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility (CEMC) at Missouri S&T and the University of Houston. The University of Hawaii EM technologies site brings research innovation and laboratory facilities that complement ongoing activities in CEMC. Together, the joint CEMC will provide broader EM expertise and will be able to address a wide range of projects with applications in national defense, smart communities and healthcare, smart grids, and in the Internet of Things research and applications. The University of Hawaii IUCRC site has several faculty members, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, working on a variety of EM-based projects. Example projects include advanced antenna arrays design with beam steering and beamforming capabilities, reconfigurable RF devices, liquid metals, Terahertz sensors, metamaterials/smart materials technologies, propagation modeling, and RF sensors for remote biomedical and environmental monitoring applications. Digital signal processing, advanced optimization, and reinforcement learning algorithms have also been collaboratively integrated in EM research projects to provide affordable and reliable wireless access in rural areas, noninvasive and remote monitoring of vital signs and changes in lung water content, and in the monitoring, control, and optimization of future smart grids with large penetration of distributed renewable energy sources. Besides the significant research benefits from the collaborative and expanded capabilities of the joint center, the Hawaii site of CEMC will also have a significant impact on developing a highly qualified workforce with EM expertise for both the military and commercial sectors. The joint teams intend to exchange distance learning courses to enrich and grow their graduate programs. The Hawaii experience with STEM education and the NSF RET program will also be enriched through this collaboration between the three participating universities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

电磁 (EM) 技术一直是全球经济巨大增长和众多关键行业发展的支柱，其应用领域包括通信、雷达、太空探索、遥感、生物医学诊断和环境监测。电磁技术的进步促进了无线技术的显着增长，最近在移动生物医学监测/诊断、物联网和智能电网方面得到了应用。夏威夷大学在通信领域长期享有卓越的研究声誉，最近在更广泛的无线技术领域扩大了研究活动。可用的实验室设施包括无线测试台、室内天线范围、多个微波网络分析实验室以及用于设备制造和表征的物理电子实验室。通过这个项目，夏威夷大学团队将加入密苏里科技大学和休斯顿大学非常成功的第二阶段 IUCRC 电磁兼容性中心 (CEMC)。夏威夷大学 EM 技术站点带来了研究创新和实验室设施，以补充 CEMC 正在进行的活动。联合CEMC将共同提供更广泛的电磁专业知识，并将能够解决国防、智能社区和医疗保健、智能电网以及物联网研究和应用领域的广泛应用项目。夏威夷大学 IUCCRC 中心拥有多名教职人员、博士后研究员和研究生，致力于各种基于 EM 的项目。示例项目包括具有波束控制和波束成形功能的先进天线阵列设计、可重构射频设备、液态金属、太赫兹传感器、超材料/智能材料技术、传播建模以及用于远程生物医学和环境监测应用的射频传感器。数字信号处理、高级优化和强化学习算法也已协作集成到 EM 研究项目中，以便为农村地区提供负担得起且可靠的无线接入、生命体征和肺水含量变化的无创远程监测以及监测、分布式可再生能源大量渗透的未来智能电网的控制和优化。除了联合中心的协作和扩展能力带来的重大研究效益外，CEMC 夏威夷基地还将对为军事和商业部门培养具有电磁专业知识的高素质劳动力产生重大影响。联合团队打算交换远程学习课程，以丰富和发展他们的研究生课程。通过三所参与大学之间的合作，夏威夷在 STEM 教育和 NSF RET 项目方面的经验也将得到丰富。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
