Dr. Jonathan Foley of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte will develop theoretical and computational methods to simulate and design hybrid nanoscale-molecular materials for solar energy and low-intensity light applications under a $483,976 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry. The grant aims to advance computational design of "nanophotonic reagents" - nanomaterials that can tailor light-molecule interactions to affect chemical reactivity for energy conversion and storage. Dr. Foley's research will integrate ab initio quantum chemistry, cavity quantum electrodynamics, and efficient classical electromagnetics solvers with computational optimization methods. Open-source software products providing unique capabilities for integrated simulation and optimization of nanoscale-molecular systems are also planned. Additionally, the grant supports educational objectives through a research seminar course and annual "Future Pioneer Fest" event to foster innovation among undergraduate and graduate students in STEM fields. This award falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports progress in these scientific fields and strengthens the national research enterprise.
