Humberto Gilmer was awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship under the federal grant program "Mathematical and Physical Sciences" (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research and broadening participation activities from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025.
Dr. Gilmer will explore a model of self-interacting dark matter to provide an understanding of how dark matter mediates gravitational interaction on galactic scales, addressing discrepancies in standard cosmology models. He will also create an Arts in STEM program at Brown University to increase participation of underrepresented minority students in Providence, RI through knowledge of STEM opportunities and developing a science identity. This award supports the NSF's mission to advance science and broaden participation in STEM fields.
