This $360,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, funds the research activities of Professor Savdeep Sethi at the University of Chicago. The research aims to explore the physics of string theories, both with and without supersymmetry, in order to advance fundamental understanding about the microscopic structure of space and time and address key questions in cosmology and quantum gravity. The project has broader impacts in areas such as providing research opportunities for undergraduates, promoting diversity in physics, engaging in public outreach, and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations with cosmologists and mathematicians. No subawards are planned for this grant, which has an award date of August 15, 2024 and a final completion date of July 31, 2027.
