... The group is developing new materials designed to ARL specifications, has excellent collaborations with outside researchers, and is actively exploring new electro-optic and magneto-optic materials originally developed for telecommunication applications. Perovskite material development for voltage-controlled true-time delay for phased-array antennas has made excellent progress, and SEDD is to be applauded for applying fundamental materials science to an important practical problem.

... However, it is important to appreciate that kernel methods are not the only approach to image processing; it is advisable to continue to do comparisons with other, perhaps simpler methods as well. The Directed Energy and Power Generation Division is achieving excellent results in a number of areas, including SiC switches, methanol fuel cells, lithium-ion (Li-ion)
