Second, data-driven nonlinear models based on these...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $194,359 will fund research at the University of Notre Dame and the University of South Carolina under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance fundamental understanding of piezoelectric stimulated plasma sources. Through combined modeling and experimental efforts over a three-year period ending May 2025, the researchers will develop a new multi-physics modeling framework to resolve both the solid phase piezoelectric material and gas phase plasma in an integrated fashion not currently available. The framework will be benchmarked against experiments to provide predictive modeling and transformative knowledge on piezoelectric stimulated non-thermal plasma discharges. Additional outcomes include outreach to the global plasma community through focused workshops, educational video modules, and student outreach activities.
