Michael Vasilyev, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, has been identified by The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as one of 39 rising stars in university microsystems research to receive a Young Faculty Award. Subject to negotiation, each will receive a grant of approximately $150,000 to be used to further develop and validate their research idea during the next 12 to 18 months. Dr. Vasilyev will work on the project “Coherent Nonlinear-Optical Image Processing in Plasmonic Metamaterial.” The winners were selected through a three-stage, competitive process. DARPA initially received brief abstracts from 277 young faculty applicants from universities all over the country.
