The National Science Foundation

The NSF has supported our work on ionic memory (ECCS-EPMD/GOALI #1631717; DMR-EPM/CAREER #1631717), the semiconductor to metal phase transition in 2D materials (DMR-EPM #1607935), ion-locking for hardware security (ECCS-EPMD #2132006), 2D metals (DMR-MRSEC #2011839, Penn State), and reinventing STEM graduate education (DGE #2325599).

Sloan Foundation
The Sloan Foundation

Through a Chemistry Fellowship, the Sloan Foundation funded our demonstration of the semiconductor-to-metal phase transition in 2D crystals using ions.

DARPA
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

DARPA supported our research on nanofillaments through their "Atoms to Products" program, and low-power transistors through the LEAST Center.
