This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $414,595 in funding to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The award supports a research program led by the Principal Investigator to study the long-term growth of supermassive black holes and their relationship to host galaxy properties and cosmic environment. The research will utilize a large sample of 1.3...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $234,319 to Penn State University from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between Penn State University and Vanderbilt University to conduct the benchmark measurement of quasar spectroscopic variability and implications for supermassive black hole binaries and changing-look...

The project aims to advance understanding of major problems confronting the nation by promoting...
This $434,573 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences will support a collaborative research program at Pennsylvania State University to trace cosmic structures using galaxies, quasars, and gas at "cosmic noon" - the period ~10 billion years in the past when the universe was only about 1/4 its present size and key processes like star formation and black hole activity peaked. The researchers will combine data from several large...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
This $295,591 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at The Pennsylvania State University to develop two new methods for measuring precise extragalactic distances using integral field spectroscopy. The goal is to help address the current "Hubble tension" discrepancy between the expansion rate of the universe measured locally versus inferred from early universe physics. The Penn State team will analyze existing and new...
