The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,808 CAREER grant to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology to develop advanced mathematical and computational models for improving the accuracy, speed, and applicability of radiation heat transfer estimations in complex porous media. The 5-year project (1/1/2024 - 12/31/2028) aims to establish a novel analytical framework that combines abstraction models representing macro-scale configurations with regression models based on renewal/ruin and risk surplus theories. This approach is designed to precisely estimate radiative macro properties from homogenized micro tensors, addressing critical knowledge gaps in this field. The broader impacts include advancing scientific knowledge, developing more efficient and sustainable energy technologies, and fostering STEM engagement among K-12 students. No sub-awards are planned under this federal grant award.
