This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $200,000.00 supports a postdoctoral fellowship program entitled "MPS-ASCEND: Determining Network Properties Using Graph Theory" led by Dr. Aleyah Dawkins at Carnegie Mellon University. The project involves research on graph theory topics, including extremal problems relevant to post-exascale supercomputing and networks, as well as anti-Ramsey problems. Additionally, the fellowship includes efforts to broaden participation in mathematics by creating and implementing a program to teach and review mathematical skills needed for trade school entry exams in Western Pennsylvania. The project will also involve leading undergraduate research activities and mentoring students through the Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute and Mellon College of Science Summer Scholars Program at Carnegie Mellon University. No sub-awards are planned for this award, which is expected to be completed by July 31, 2027.
