The objective of the DARPA YFA program is to identify and engage rising research stars in junior faculty positions at U.S. academic institutions and expose them to Department of Defense needs, as well as DARPA\u0027s program development process. An associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech since 2009, Dr. Bakir was among 51 awardees chosen from a pool of 560 applicants.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe title of his project that will be funded by this award is \u0022Radical Silicon Interconnection Platform for Ultimate Performance Electronics.\u0022 The goal of the research is to design and experimentally demonstrate a novel system-level interconnect platform to enable ultimate performance computing systems. The research will explore radical 3D interconnect components and monolithic thermal management technologies for the integration of logic, memory, and silicon nanophotonics. The proposed research will yield a radical new paradigm for how computing systems are designed and interconnected leading to increased system throughput while consuming lower energy and volume.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Associate Professor Muhannad Bakir has been named among the 51 recipients of the 2012 DARPA Young Faculty Award.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor Muhannad Bakir has been named among the 51 recipients of the 2012 DARPA Young Faculty Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2012-06-01 16:45:41","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:12:22","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-06-01T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2012-06-01T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"66056":{"id":"66056","type":"image","title":"Muhannad Bakir","body":null,"created":"1449176916","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:08:36","changed":"1475894587","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:07","alt":"Muhannad Bakir","file":{"fid":"192460","name":"bakir.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bakir_1.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bakir_1.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":230274,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/bakir_1.jpg?itok=CHzuof_B"}}},"media_ids":["66056"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=163","title":"Muhannad Bakir"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"12093","name":"Muhannad Bakir"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
