The National Science Foundation awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070).
The grant funds collaborative research on developing Markov chain algorithms to solve problems in computer science, statistical physics, and self-organizing particle systems. The Computer and Information Science and Engineering program supports investigator-initiated research and education across computing, communications, and information science and engineering. This award advances the program's goals by funding the development of new algorithms with applications in multiple scientific disciplines. The Georgia Tech Research Corporation will oversee research at its Atlanta, Georgia location using the three-year $700k award.
