RESEARCH AT NPS JANUARY 2012
ENERGY SEED PROPOSAL COMPETITiON
As reported in the December edition of Research News, the
Research Board has endorsed a proposal to use a portion of the Dean of Research initiative funding to hold a competition for a limited number of awards for “seed funding” or “feasibility studies” in the area of energy. The purpose of the awards will be to develop, or further advance, new concepts to a level of maturity such that they could be submitted as highly-competitive proposals to sponsors for external funding. There were sixteen submissions from across campus, of which seven were elected this year. The following proposals received FY12 funding:
Novel Metal-Oxide Aerogel/Graphitic Hybrids for
Supercapacitive Energy Storage, Associate Professor
Claudia Luhrs, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Multi-Material Dielectics: Super High Dielectric Constant Materials, Research Professor Jonathan Phillips, Physics
