The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program awarded a $425,653 project grant to Brown University to conduct research on the "INERTIO-CAPILLARY DYNAMICS OF PARTICLES AT INTERFACES". The 5-year grant supports integrated experimental and theoretical work to advance the understanding of how solid particles move at fluid interfaces, which has important implications for applications in areas like pollution control, manufacturing, biotechnology, and robotics. The research will combine novel experiments with first-principle modeling techniques to study particle impact, interface-bound particle dynamics, and self-propulsion/collective motion of driven interfacial particles. The project will also develop educational materials and hands-on outreach activities to engage underrepresented groups in science and engineering.
