This $405,998 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan.
The grant supports the principal investigator's research into the deformation spaces of geometric structures on n-dimensional manifolds. This includes studying the Hitchin component of higher rank structures on surfaces and the space of hyperbolic structures on 3-manifolds. The research aims to develop new geometric theories and combinatorial models for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In addition, the grant will fund the PI's involvement in the Inquiry Based Learning Center, the MACSS Scholars Program for low-income math/CS/stats students, curriculum development, journal editing, conference organizing, and mentoring of students and postdoctoral researchers. The award period is 3 years, from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
