The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,195,792 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to Mississippi State University and the University of Central Florida. The grant supports the development of an optical spectrometer capable of multimodal linearly polarized, circularly polarized, and integrating-sphere-assisted spectroscopic measurements. This advanced instrument will enhance research and education in fields such as chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and physics across the two universities. The instrument will provide new capabilities for non-invasive characterization of materials properties, leading to a better understanding of photon-matter interactions and enabling new strategies for materials research. The collaboration with Sciencetech Inc., a Canadian optical instrumentation company, is facilitating the instrument's development. Additionally, the University of Central Florida received a sub-award under this grant to contribute to the spectrometer's development. This project aims to advance fundamental scientific understanding, while also providing interdisciplinary training opportunities for students, postdocs, and researchers across the nation.
