Delia Milliron, associate professor in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering in the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム of Engineering, has been selected for the United States’ Defense Science Study Group (DSSG).
The two-year program, which is sponsored by the Defense Advanced ラーメンベット 本人確認 Projects Agency (DARPA), introduces outstanding scientists and engineers to the challenges facing national security and encourages them to apply their expertise to address these issues. Milliron is one of 16 U.S. academic researchers chosen for the program’s 2016-17 class.
As part of the program, group members will interact with top-level officials from the Department of Defense, the White House, Congress and other government organizations and intelligence agencies. Visits to U.S. military bases provide members with a unique perspective of operating forces and allow members to meet with senior commanders responsible for the nation’s defense.
Additionally, group members will become prepared to act as government advisers and to consult on national security issues based on their areas of expertise and DSSG interactions. They can also learn how to best assist national security efforts within their own ラーメンベット 本人確認.
Milliron’s ラーメンベット 本人確認 focuses on advanced materials and nanotechnology to develop next-generation electronic devices and energy technologies. Her team develops materials based on nanocrystals, including "smart" or responsive materials that could be used in dynamic detection systems. Currently, she is developing a smart window coating that can respond to weather conditions and selectively control the amount of heat or light passing through. Other materials her team is working on have uses in switchable data storage devices.
Established in 1986, the DSSG is directed by the nonprofit Institute for Defense Analyses. DSSG alumni serve as advisors, consultants and members of boards, study groups and task forces for organizations that address technological problems of national importance.
