The University of California, Davis received a $439,105 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new models and simulations to characterize the collective hydrodynamic behavior of microscopic particles embedded in viscous interfaces. The goal is to establish a rigorous platform to understand and engineer complex membrane-like assemblies, which has applications in areas like drug delivery, respiratory health, and cell biology. The award will support the development of analytical tools and computational methods to capture large-scale hydrodynamic interactions in realistic non-Newtonian interfaces, as well as an integrated educational program to promote STEM engagement among underrepresented community college students. The award period is from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029.
