Kaul to Lead EPMD Program at NSF

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Dr. Anupama B. Kaul has joined the National Science Foundation’s Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems Div. as its new program director in Electronics, Photonics and Magnetic Devices (EPMD), the foundation announced.

Kaul comes to the organization from the Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology, where she managed interdisciplinary research programs in nanomaterials and devices for sensing, electronics and optical applications. Prior to JPL, she worked at Motorola Labs, where she conducted research on radio- frequency MEMS switches and components derived from organic materials on flexible substrates.

In her new position, Kaul will lead the EPMD program, which seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of devices and components based on the principles of micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, magnetics, optoelectronics, electromechanics, electromagnetics and related physical phenomena.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
optoelectronics
Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
