This $235,375 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on unstable minimal surfaces and their applications. The principal investigator (PI) at Rutgers, The State University will work to discover new minimal surfaces with potential applications in geometry and topology. Key objectives include developing techniques to study min-max minimal surfaces, finding applications of these surfaces in fields like topology and geometry, and exploring the relationship between minimal surfaces under different metrics. The PI will also focus on training undergraduate and graduate students, organizing conferences, and promoting computational studies of minimal surfaces. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise in mathematical and physical sciences.
