The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,043,975 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to support fundamental research in gravitational physics and quantum gravity. The research aims to advance the understanding of black holes, the nature of space and time, and the origins of the universe through innovative theoretical and computational approaches. Key areas of focus include investigating black holes at low temperatures, exploring the implications of a finite density of states in gravitational systems, and examining the role of topology and geometry in quantum gravity. The project will involve training graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and disseminating research directions and findings to the public through various forums. The award period runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2028.
