Dr. Jorge Rosa Raices was awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (NSF MPS-ASCEND) to conduct research titled "MPS-ASCEND: Improved Polymer Upcycling Strategies via Stochastic Thermodynamics" from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The fellowship, funded under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support the development of new polymer materials and molecular simulation algorithms to enable cost-effective upcycling of plastic waste into valuable feedstocks. Specifically, Dr. Rosa Raices will employ stochastic thermodynamics theory and efficient molecular simulations at the University of California, Berkeley under the mentorship of Dr. David Limmer to study self-disassembling plastics and infer design principles for their sustainable synthesis and upcycling. The research aims to advance progress toward a circular plastic economy by providing material guidelines to expedite technologies that can chemically break down plastics into molecular building blocks for reuse.
