OCAST AWARDS NEARLY $2.2 MILLION FOR 12
APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS
Board members who oversee the Oklahoma Center for the
Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) awarded nearly
$ 2.2 million to 12 research applicants November 15. The awards
are the first in the Oklahoma Applied Research program for FY
2012. All research projects will be completed within three years.
The latest OCAST research projects range from a special heat exchanger to a sensor designed to
detect peroxide-based explosives. Applied research funds are used for accelerated and proof-of-concept
technology. Successful proposals have significant potential for producing a commercially
successful product, process or service likely to benefit the state’s economy.
Independent external peer reviewers evaluate the applied research applications which are ranked
before being presented to the OCAST governing board. Since the program’s inception in 1987,
OCAST applied research projects have attracted $16.50 of outside investment for each dollar made
available from the state of Oklahoma.
The applied research award winners include the following:
Ardmore
Semiconductors
Khalid Hossain, investigator, Amethyst Research Inc., “Hydrogen assisted surface
cleaning and passivation of semiconductor substrates for heteroepitaxy” – Both compound
semiconductors and silicon are needed to produce “smart” sensors for Department of
Defense applications. Amethyst Research has devised a method of surface cleaning that
makes the silicon surfaces free of contamination prior to thin-film growth. The technology
assists in fabrication of high-performance infrared sensors and focal plane arrays.
$300,000 for two years
Edmond
Transportation
Mark Nash, investigator, Pelco Products Inc., “Pelco Products Symbolite Project” – Pelco
