Funding for the CURIE Academy 2014 design project was partially provided by the National Science Foundation through NSF CAREER Award #1149464. Laboratory facilities were provided by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University, and the broader CURIE Academy is organized through the Diversity Programs in Engineering Office at Cornell University.
