About the Role

The Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group (G81) aims to leverage physical properties at the small scale to develop enabling novel materials, custom microelectronics, and multifunctional microsystems. Our activities range from developing new approaches to materials discovery, pioneering work on specialized microelectronic process technologies, embedding electronic devices in fibers and fabrics, and creating new materials and new processes for additive manufacturing. Our system application space is equally broad, encompassing low-cost picosatellites fabricated in a silicon foundry, additive manufacturing of radiation shields for protecting electronic systems, persistent monitoring of wide areas of ocean using arrays of sensors and hydrophones, and specialized microchips to test and validate cooling solutions for highly integrated high-performance microprocessors. Our high-impact work is enabled by the Microelectronics Laboratory, the Defense Fabric Discovery Center, and other cleanroom facilities at the Laboratory.
