The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a 3-year, $200,000 Project Grant to Dr. Marco Lopez for the research project "Thermodynamic Formalism at CUNY." Conducted at the CUNY Graduate Center under the mentorship of Professors Tamara Kucherenko and Christian Wolf, the project explores the computability of dynamical quantities and the flexibility program in thermodynamic formalism, which applies statistical physics concepts to dynamical systems with chaotic behavior. In addition to the research, Dr. Lopez will organize outreach programs, such as a bilingual tutoring program and Spanish math circles, to engage K-12 students from Spanish-speaking communities in New York City. This award aligns with the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program's objectives to advance scientific knowledge and support innovative research with potential for societal impact.
