Navy Awards UA Electrical Engineer Ming Li Young Investigator Award

March 30, 2016
Posted in:
The Office of Naval Research is funding UA research to improve wireless communication in environments with scarce or unreliable networks.

Electrical and computer engineering associate professor Ming Li is the first faculty member from the University of Arizona to receive the highly competitive Office of Naval Research, or ONR, Young Investigator Award since 2010. The award will support his work in reconfigurable antennas with wireless networks.

With a multihop network and a reconfigurable antenna, we could set up a network quickly with little money or without the need to build fixed infrastructure like a radio tower."
