Project Grant 2054987

The National Science Foundation awarded a $340,516 project grant to the University of California, Los Angeles Office of Research Administration to support the Expanding Thurston Maps and Fractal Geometry project. The three-year award, made under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research exploring major problems in these fields from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in these disciplines and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and understanding challenges facing the country. The University of California, Los Angeles will leverage the grant to advance understanding of Thurston maps and fractal geometry over the three-year period of performance in Los Angeles, California.
