Jeffrey Nanzer, the Dennis P. Nyquist assistant professor in Michigan State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is the recipient of a prestigious 2017 Young Faculty Award (YFA) from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The objective of the YFA program is to identify and engage rising research stars in junior faculty positions at U.S. academic institutions, with the long-term goal of developing the next generation of academic scientists, engineers and mathematicians to focus a significant portion of their career on Department of Defense and national security issues.
Nanzer will use the two-year, $400,000 award to create technologies enabling separate, small wireless systems to collaborate as a single system.
