ABSTRACTThe advantages that silicon carbide (SiC) based power electronic devices offer are being realized by using prototype or experimental devices in many different power applications ranging from medium voltage to high voltage or for high temperature or high switching frequency applications. The main advantages of using SiC-based devices are reduced thermal management requirements and smaller passive components which result in higher power density. An overview of the SiC research effort at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and The University of Tennessee (UT) is presented in this paper.

First Time

The additive manufacturing integrated energy (AMIE) demonstration utilized three-dimensional (3D) printing as an enabling technology in the pursuit of construction methods that use less material, create less waste, and require less energy to build and operate. Developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in collaboration with the Governor's Chair for Energy and Urbanism, a research partnership of the University of Tennessee (UT) and ORNL led by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), AMIE embodies a suite of innovations demonstrating a transformative future for designing, constructing, and operating buildings. Subsequent, independent UT College of Architecture and Design studios taught in collaboration with SOM professionals also explored forms and shapes based on biological systems that naturally integrate structure and enclosure. AMIE, a compact microdwelling developed by ORNL research scientists and SOM designers, incorporates next-generation modified atmosphere insulation (MAI), self-shading windows, and the ability to produce, store, and share solar power with a paired hybrid vehicle. It establishes for the first time, a platform for investigating solutions integrating the energy systems in buildings, vehicles, and the power grid. The project was built with broad-based support from local industry and national material suppliers. Designed and constructed in a span of only 9 months, AMIE 1.0 serves as an example of the rapid innovation that can be accomplished when research, design, academic, and industrial partners work in collaboration toward the common goal of a more sustainable and resilient built environment.

Stable Degree

Leading voices in the biological sciences have called for a transformation in graduate education leading to the PhD degree. One area commonly singled out for growth and innovation is cross-training in computational science. In 1998, the University of Tennessee (UT) founded an intercollegiate graduate program called the UT-ORNL Graduate School of Genome Science and Technology in partnership with the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Here, we report outcome data that attest to the program’s effectiveness in graduating computationally enabled biologists for diverse careers. Among 77 PhD graduates since 2003, the majority came with traditional degrees in the biological sciences, yet two-thirds moved into computational or hybrid (computational–experimental) positions. We describe the curriculum of the program and how it has changed. We also summarize how the program seeks to establish cohesion between computational and experimental biologists. This type of program can respond flexibly and dynamically to unmet training needs. In conclusion, this study from a flagship, state-supported university may serve as a reference point for creating a stable, degree-granting, interdepartmental graduate program in computational biology and allied areas.

In this paper, an analytical model for a vertical double implanted metal-oxide semiconductor (DIMOS) transistor structure in 4H-Silicon Carbide ( SiC ) is presented. Simulation for transport characteristics of the SiC MOSFET with the exact device geometry is carried out using the commercial device simulator MEDICI. A rigorous experimental testing and characterization is done on a 4H- SiC DIMOS transistor test device. SPICE parameters are extracted from the measurements, and a SPICE model for the DIMOS transistor has been developed. The presented work is a part of team efforts of material, device, and power electronics researchers at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Initiated in April, 2014, The Governor’s Chair for Energy + Urbanism was a $2.25M five-year research partnership between the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, a prominent architecture, interior design, urban planning, and engineering firm with an extensive global practice, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL, located near Knoxville, TN, the largest U.S Department of Energy science and technology laboratory.1 While the partnership had multifaceted objectives, they all, in one way or another, had to bridge the prevailing disconnect between academic inquiry, basic scientific research, and practical application.
