The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell University a $322,617 project grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will fund research from May 2021 through April 2024 related to actuating and sensing objects on a free surface. Specifically, the funding will support collaborative research to develop techniques for controlling and monitoring the behavior of objects located on liquid surfaces without direct contact. By enabling new types of contactless manipulation and measurement of free-floating items, this work has the potential to advance engineering capabilities across multiple disciplines. The grantee, Cornell University Office of Sponsored Programs, will oversee delivery of the research objectives during the three-year award period using the federal funds.
