The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $230,111 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. This 3-year grant, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, supports two scientific research threads: (1) fundamental research on liquid crystals, their suspensions, and related applications; and (2) investigations of extreme wave phenomena in photonic devices, with a focus on epsilon near zero materials. The research aims to advance mathematical modeling and analysis techniques in areas such as partial differential equations and the calculus of variations, with potential applications in fields like display technologies, drug delivery, and enhanced light-matter interactions. The project also includes a significant component for human resource development, providing graduate students and postdocs at the University of Utah opportunities to learn and contribute to the research.
