This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $315,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund the research activities of Professor Matthew B. Kleban at New York University, focusing on three key areas:

  1. Investigating theories of hypothetical particles called axions to help understand features of the universe, such as dark energy and dark matter.
  2. Studying the physics of primordial black holes and their potential role as dark matter.
  3. Continuing work on the quantum physics of accelerating universes, such as the one we inhabit.

This award aims to advance scientific knowledge and promote the progress of science, ultimately benefiting the national interest. The research findings will be shared through public lectures, interviews, and by inspiring and training undergraduate, graduate, and early-career scientists at NYU.
