- This $318,775 National Science Foundation project grant supports theoretical and computational research and education activities at Lehigh University from May 2022 through April 2025. The award is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields. Specifically, the principal investigator and their team will develop advanced numerical techniques to model the properties of two-dimensional quantum...
- This $399,998 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Lehigh University from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The university will investigate molecular structure-activity relationships of mixed oxide catalysts for converting ethane to ethylene via oxidative dehydrogenation. Researchers will employ in situ and operando spectroscopy, transient kinetics analysis, and theoretical modeling to determine surface...
- This $359,907 three-year project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research by the University of Alabama to characterize the chemical short-range order in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys. The research aims to evaluate two key hypotheses: 1) that short-range order in MPEAs reaches a stable state independent of fabrication conditions, and 2) that the relaxation...
- This $524,534 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research funds a collaborative research effort between The Johns Hopkins University and the University of California, Santa Barbara to elucidate high temperature deformation mechanisms in refractory multi-principal-element alloys. The research aims to develop a fundamental scientific understanding of the ultrahigh temperature (up to 1500°C) mechanical behavior of this new class of alloy...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $450,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Lehigh University for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. The grant supports collaborative research to accelerate data-driven discovery of ion-conducting materials through mentoring of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Louisiana State University was provided a $44,403 subaward over three years to support expertise in sintering and...
This four-year, $1,444,199 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research at Lehigh University to develop a scientific framework for understanding the complex reduction behavior of mixtures of oxide materials. The university will study the reduction behavior of multi-principal component alloy (MPCA) oxide compositions under controlled temperature and oxygen partial pressure conditions. Characterization of partially reduced samples using scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques, as well as in-situ x-ray diffraction reduction studies using a synchrotron light source, will reveal the sequence of reactions and phase evolution. Identification of metallic phase nucleation mechanisms, the role of transient phases, and rate-controlling transport mechanisms has both fundamental and applied research benefits. The project also includes outreach activities to encourage underrepresented groups to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
