Who We Serve

We work with clients in several advanced technology priority areas including industries of the future such as:

AI brings together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy artificial intelligence and robotics, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors.

Clean energy comes from generation systems that do not produce any kind of pollution, notably greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which cause climate change. Therefore, clean energy – in full development – drives advances to conserve the environment and palliate the crisis with non-renewable fuels, such as gas and oil. Some of the hot topics in clean energy include electric vehicles, battery recycling, smart grid, solar cells, and carbon capture. The Bipartisan Infrastructure law will catalyze investments in clean energy technologies for mitigation of climate change.

AM accelerates breakthroughs in manufacturing materials, technologies, and systems through fundamental, multidisciplinary research with the potential to transform manufacturing capabilities, methods, and practices. Address the semiconductor challenges facing our Nation due to technological and global trends, such as the end of Moore’s Law and offshoring of semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing, by supporting future semiconductor discovery, development and fabrication, which can lead to future domestic and related electronics foundries. The Chips and Science Act will catalyze investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity.

Further advances in genomics, bioinformatics and data analytics, structural and computational biology, biophysics, synthetic biology, tissue engineering, and development of new types of biomaterials, bio-inspired data storage and microelectronics, and biomanufacturing, accelerating the ability to harness biological systems to create goods and services that can contribute to advances in agriculture, health, security, manufacturing, and the climate.
