This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program grant award of $515,037 supports the acquisition of a laboratory-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) instrument at Stony Brook University. The instrument will enable spectroscopic studies to probe the chemical state, electronic structure, and local coordination environment of atoms, supporting research across materials science, chemistry, geosciences, environmental sciences, chemical engineering, and condensed matter physics. The award will facilitate training of the next generation of XAS instrumentalists, broaden participation in scientific research, and enable high-throughput sample characterization and operando studies of catalysis, functional materials, metallurgy, and more. The project will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 at Stony Brook University, which is serving as the prime awardee for this grant. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
