Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a four-year $1,417,540 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support collaborative research titled "UNCOVERING MECHANISMS OF GRAIN BOUNDARY MIGRATION IN POLYCRYSTALS FOR PREDICTIVE SIMULATIONS OF GRAIN GROWTH." Through this funding, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University will work to develop predictive models of grain growth in polycrystalline materials by uncovering the mechanisms that govern grain boundary migration. This research seeks to strengthen understanding of major problems in materials science, in line with the goals of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program. The period of performance for this award is from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.
