This $1.2 million National Science Foundation Project Grant supports theoretical physics research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey through July 2025. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this award provides support for Professor Edward Witten and postdoctoral researchers to advance fundamental understanding of particle physics, astrophysics, and geometry through gauge theory, string theory, and other models. Key activities include studying connections between these fields; developing new computational methods for particle scattering; and exploring potential experimental hints regarding dark matter. In addition to advancing scientific knowledge of physical laws, this research training will broaden the skills of postdoctoral fellows working at the forefront of these topics attracting international interest.
