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 in CEM, enabling advanced uncertainty quantification to enhance the design of new devices and systems. Key deliverables include new adaptive modeling, error control, and uncertainty quantification methodologies with broad applicability across computational sciences and engineering. The project will also support graduate student training and initiatives to recruit underrepresented groups. No sub-awards are planned.
