This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $450,000 to Colorado State University (CSU) from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project aims to develop a novel adaptive, fully anisotropic multiscale hp-element method to revolutionize simulation-based design in computational electromagnetics (CEM). The research will create exponentially convergent techniques to accurately and efficiently model multiscale, non-smooth behavior...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $136,167 to support the continued development of the open-source Einstein Toolkit ecosystem. The awardee, consisting of a collaboration between the University of Idaho and four other institutions, will deliver three new software capabilities for the Toolkit over a two-year period ending in August...
This $328,320 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a comprehensive theoretical investigation into the impact of cosmic rays on the structure and evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies. The principal investigators will conduct 3D shearing-box simulations to systematically and quantitatively assess how cosmic rays regulate the state of the ISM and influence galactic...
This $590,898 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into modeling chorus wave generation using particle-in-cell simulations. Led by New Mexico Consortium, the project aims to study chorus waves—commonly observed plasma waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere—through large-scale first-principles simulations. The simulations will use realistic magnetic field topology and plasma parameters from observations to test existing theories of...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research into the composition and anisotropy of cosmic rays using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the South Pole. The $180,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, aims to enhance measurements of cosmic ray properties such as mass composition, energy, and arrival directions. The project leverages data...
This $219,782 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences aims to develop innovative and robust numerical methods for simulating high-frequency electric charge transport phenomena. The research program under this 3-year award from September 2024 to August 2027 will advance space and time discretization techniques for hydrodynamic models of electric charge transport, such as the Euler-Maxwell and Euler-Poisson systems. The resulting numerical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $135,941 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the propagation and dissipation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The 4-year project aims to investigate how these plasma waves reach the ground and how their propagation is affected by geomagnetic activity and magnetic field topology. The research team will employ...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $555,251 to Andrews University to conduct collaborative research on the propagation and dissipation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The project aims to address four key scientific questions about how EMIC waves reach the ground, how they are affected by geomagnetic activity, how magnetic field topology impacts wave propagation,...
This $635,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to quantify electron microburst precipitation driven by chorus waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The study employs a simulation model to characterize the temporal evolution and spatial dependencies of these electron microbursts, which can impact ionospheric conductivity and communications. The project will support a recently graduated PhD scientist and a graduate student,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $106,909 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The funding supports a collaborative research project to investigate the propagation and dissipation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The research team will employ advanced simulation models and analyze observations from multiple satellites and ground-based observatories to...
