This $184,839 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support a collaborative research project between Christopher Newport University and California State University Monterey Bay to elucidate ion interactions at interfaces. The researchers will use a combined spectroscopic and computational approach to examine how molecular interactions and ionic charge influence the distribution and properties of ions at interfaces, which is critical for accurately modeling atmospheric chemistry. Through this project, undergraduate researchers at both institutions will gain hands-on technical skills applicable to future science careers. The research aims to provide quantitative estimates of ion reactive availabilities to enhance the accuracy of atmospheric models and inform policies on emission standards. No sub-awards are planned for this grant, which has an award date of August 1, 2024 and a scheduled completion by July 31, 2027.
