- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 to fund the research activities of Professor Monica Pate at New York University from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to advance the understanding of quantum gravity by tailoring an extension of the holographic principle to the problem of quantum gravitational scattering. Key objectives include constraining...
- This $464,834 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research supports joint theoretical research and education to advance the foundations of strongly correlated topological and geometric phases of matter. The key focus is on understanding the physics of systems that exhibit emergent "fracton" excitations - topologically non-trivial excitations with constrained mobility. The research aims to explore how fracton excitations affect observable...
This three-year, $135,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research into quantum and thermal fluctuations in topological solitons, curved spacetime backgrounds such as Schwarzschild black holes, and nonreciprocal materials. Professor Noah Graham of Middlebury College will develop mathematical and computational tools to analyze how unusual properties in these systems impact Casimir forces and heat transfer at the nanoscale. Undergraduate students will gain applied research experience through computational and simulation work over the summer. The grant aims to advance foundational technology research while building scientific skills in the next generation of STEM professionals. Results could inform nanoscale device design and potential effects of broken symmetries like parity and time reversal. The work furthers NSF's mission to strengthen the U.S. science enterprise through increased fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding of national priorities.
