Clutter Measurement

Ongoing
The Irregular Terrain Model (ITM) is a model for radio propagation that has been widely used for predicting the attenuation of a radio signal as a function of distance and the variability of the signal in time and in space. It was developed in the 1960 sand therefore does not fully utilize the

Coastal Inundation: Hazard Characterization and Structural Design

Ongoing
Objective - To develop next-generation methods and tools to better characterize coastal inundation hazards, associated loads, and response of structures, thus enabling performance-based standards for designing structures that resist coastal inundation. What is the new technical idea? Current design

Cold Core Technology Platform

Ongoing
Cold atoms can be useful sensors for a host of different phenomena including inertial forces like acceleration and rotation, gravity, magnetic fields, vacuum and time. However, most of these applications are still confined to the laboratory. Building robust, field-deployable quantum sensors made

Collaborative Microgrid for Smart Buildings

Completed
Currently, the idea of designing collaborative smart buildings is becoming a real challenge. Indeed, the emergence of smart grids and the growing use of smart household appliances is the main driving force behind the use of demand side management. This would require developing an efficient control

Collaborative Research with NIST Scientists and Engineers

Ongoing
As members of interdisciplinary teams, SED statisticians contribute in a variety of ways. SED staff develop appropriate statistical strategies to meet the needs of the research teams, participate in the planning of experimental studies, and conduct rigorous and nontrivial uncertainty analysis of

Collapse Assessment of Buildings under Seismic Loading

Completed
Objective - To evaluate the collapse probabilities of a suite of steel buildings for a series of increasingly severe earthquake ground motions, and to compare these probabilities to the collapse objective presumed in ASCE/SEI 7. The probabilities of collapse will be determined using the methodology

Combating Antibiotic Resistance

Ongoing
We are developing in vitro systems to generate controlled chemical and community environments that mimic the features of real-world that are important determinants for evolutionary rate and resistance potential. In addition, we are developing tools to isolate and analyze single bacteria along the

Combinatorial Approaches to Thin Film Nanomaterials

Completed
The behavior and performance of nanostructured materials and devices are governed by the chemistry and structure of their surfaces and interfaces. However, chemistry-structure-performance relationships in these systems are complex, so hundreds of experiments can be necessary to determine optimal

Compact strontium optical clock with integrated photonics

Ongoing
The development of a liter-scale apparatus to produce Sr, would enable highly accurate, transportable optical clocks based on their ultra-narrow optical transition. However, straightforward miniaturization of the traditional optical infrastructure necessary to implement multi-step laser cooling has
Compact ultrastable optical references illustration

Compact Ultrastable Optical References

Ongoing
At the heart of any stable laser is a reference cavity resonator. By locking a laser’s frequency to a reference cavity mode, the laser inherits the resonator’s stability. These stable lasers can then be used in various sensing and spectroscopy applications, including in optical atomic clocks and
