The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $447,870 Project Grant to Lehigh University for a 3-year research project titled "Untangling Photoreactivity of Oxide Nanoparticles." The project, funded under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use computational modeling methods to study the photophysical and photochemical properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The research aims to build systematic nanotitania models to explore the reactivity at corners and edges of these nanoparticles, which could lead to improved first-principle models of photocatalysis. In addition, the project will provide immersive research experiences for early career undergraduates and underrepresented students to increase diversity and computational literacy in STEM fields.
