Welcome to PRISM: NNSA Center for Prediction of Reliability, Integrity and Survivability of Microsystems, a university center funded by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) under their Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP). PRISM is centered at Purdue University, with the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and University of New Mexico as partners.
During the last few years, there has been great interest in the development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for civilian and defense applications. However, for MEMS to be widely deployed, they must satisfy stringent performance and reliability requirements, which they have thus far been unable to meet. PRISM seeks to significantly accelerate the development of MEMS technologies for civilian and military applications through the use of predictive, validated science and petascale computing.
