This $300,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports mathematical research into the visibility and invisibility properties of electromagnetic signatures of inhomogeneities. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the three-year award to Rutgers, The State University will examine how the regularity, geometry and material contents of an inhomogeneity impact its visibility when probed by electromagnetic waves. Specifically, the investigator will develop tools to enhance image resolution and determine which geometric features are more or less visible. The research aims to elucidate these relationships to better detect or hide inhomogeneities, with implications for electromagnetic imaging techniques. It will also examine the feasibility and limitations of passive electromagnetic cloaking devices using physically realistic materials. Over the course of the award period ending July 2025, the investigator and a mentored postdoctoral researcher will investigate the scattering properties of inhomogeneities and develop asymptotic formulas modeling small boundary condition variations, advancing understanding with potential applications in nondestructive testing, biomedical imaging, and optimal design.
