This $256,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical research and education to examine superconductivity in the strong coupling regime. The principal investigator and graduate students will focus on several fundamental issues related to quantum-critical metals, including understanding the competition between fermionic incoherence and Cooper pairing, the emergence of dynamical vortices, and the behavior of superfluid stiffness. The research aims to advance the theoretical understanding of superconductivity in materials that display non-Fermi liquid behavior, with the potential to guide the identification of higher temperature superconductors. The award period runs from Sept. 1, 2024 to Aug. 31, 2027 and includes funding for the development of the scientific workforce through graduate student training and outreach activities. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
