The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $120,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to support research in gravitational and mathematical astrophysics. The three-year award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will fund a series of studies focused on understanding the properties of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The research aims to develop new computational and simulation methods for modeling strong gravitational fields, which could have impacts across scientific disciplines including nuclear physics and computational mathematics. The award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and support the training of the next generation of scientists, as some of the research projects are expected to involve undergraduate and graduate students.
