This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds Professor Daniel Boyanovsky's research at the University of Pittsburgh on fundamental non-equilibrium aspects of dark matter and its potential existence in novel materials. The project aims to advance theoretical frameworks for understanding dark matter and dark energy, which account for 95% of the universe's energy and matter content, through the...
This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 over 3 years to Lafayette College to conduct research on the origin and properties of dark matter in the universe, as well as investigate possible deviations from the canonical history of the universe's evolution. The research aims to develop novel methods for probing the dark sector and distinguishing between possible...
