The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $800,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, beginning on September 1, 2024 and continuing through August 31, 2027. The grant supports a project by Professors Diaconescu and Alexandrova to develop redox switchable polymerization catalysts for generating biodegradable copolymers. Their research combines machine learning with experimental approaches to design new polymer structures. In addition to contributing to fundamental catalysis knowledge and producing biodegradable polymers, the project is strengthening the STEM workforce by educating postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduates, and high school students from diverse backgrounds. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
