The Luminescence Dating Laboratory provides a variety of teaching and research opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Anthropology, as well as serving students and researchers from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences. These opportunities span a wide range of archaeological and geological subjects pertaining to geochronology, such as determining the ages of prehistorical pottery and ceramics, configuring archaeological site settlement chronologies through sediment dating, and determining glacial histories and river transport timelines with luminescence exposure dating. Luminescence surface exposure dating especially has been a recently fruitful area of study, with many national meetings in both archaeological and geological subjects holding sections solely devoted to discussing the technique and its recent publications and advances. As such, the UW Luminescence Lab, with the collaboration of undergraduate workers, is currently conducting various exposure dating related studies on samples sent from researchers in New England and abroad, in addition to local graduate student work from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences concerning applications of luminescence surface exposure aging. Such work requires the use of a high precision rock saw, of which the blades are currently worn out. Further, there is enhanced interest from the Department of Earth and Space sciences to use our saw for thin sectioning purposes. In order to accomplish these and future projects, new diamond blades are needed to replace our now worn out blades.

We request funding to purchase a scanning Kelvin probe with photoemission capability, to be housed and provided to students in the UW Clean Energy Institute’s Research Training Testbed in the nanoES building. Currently, no similarly capable equipment is available. A Kelvin probe would strengthen student research across several disciplines, provide new and enriching options for new curriculum development, and enable new student-led discoveries. There is strong UW student involvement in research fields that depend on the electrical and electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces, whether in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and beyond. Additionally, electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces is a significant part of undergraduate and graduate education in those disciplines.

The Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles Team (UWROV) at the University of Washington is a team of students that design, build, and compete with underwater robots in the international MATE ROV Competition. In doing so, we give students from across the university hands-on experience in interdisciplinary collaboration, robotics, and the growing field of ocean technology. To support the construction of a new ROV for the 2022 MATE Competition, we are requesting safety equipment, manufacturing parts, and tooling.

The Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology seeks funding to further its support of student research computing. This year we are launching a new Applied Demography Lab space in Raitt Hall where students can drop in and get help and advising on using popular demographic data sets and software packages. The lab will have the capability to do remote video conferencing with other teams and agencies interested in demographic data and methods.

We would like to purchase two new graphics-processing units (GPUs) for use by the students of the Department of Applied Mathematics. These GPUs will be installed in a remotely accessed GPU server previously funded by the STF. Though "graphics-processing" is in the name, these GPUs are designed not for graphics but for general-purpose computing. And the additional computational abilities of these new GPUs will allow more applied-math students to use the GPU server for intensive computations in fields such as data science, neuroscience, and geophysics.

The transition to remote instruction presented great challenges to labs-based courses. The electrical and computer engineering department shipped lab kits to students during these unprecedented times. However, kits were susceptible to loss or damage besides the logistics of shipping and returning the kits remains an inconvenient solution. In the fall quarter of 2020 the department sponsored a remote FPGA lab to support students enrolled in EE/CSE 371 as a pilot project to test the feasibility of eliminating the need of shipping lab kits and allowing students to access the hardware remotely. This proposal capitalizes on the success of the pilot project to extend the idea of the remote FPGA lab to other hardware that can benefit the students at UW including but not limited to the DTC students in the college of engineering, engineering RSOs, and STEM outreach.

We propose the acquisition of a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) instrument and associated deck box and sensors to increase the research capabilities of the Research Vessel (R/V) Rachel Carson in support of students sailing on the vessel as part of undergraduate and graduate classes and their thesis research through the School of Oceanography and the School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences.
