Under a $530,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant awarded August 1, 2023 through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Anatoly Kolomeisky of William Marsh Rice University and his research group will develop quantitative models and theoretical frameworks to understand the role of heterogeneity in chemical and biological processes. Through analytical models, numerical calculations, machine learning, and molecular dynamics simulations, the team will investigate mechanisms of catalysis, function of antimicrobial peptides, heterogeneity's role in cancer initiation dynamics, and mechanisms of cell lysis. The work aims to build simple yet quantitative models consistent with experimental data to clarify underlying molecular pictures, provide testable predictions, and advance fundamental knowledge while respecting chemistry and physics laws. Rice University will provide research opportunities for underrepresented students and undertake outreach including presentations, a symposium, public lectures, and science communication. Completion is set for July 2026.
