The goal is to understand how to precisely arrange microscopic colloidal particles to create new materials with customizable properties. The project will use experiments and computer simulations to develop new strategies...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $198,692 to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation Sponsored Programs Office (CSU Fullerton ASC) will develop a partnership between California State University-Fullerton (CSUF) and the Center for Computer Assisted Synthesis (C-CAS) to create a comprehensive research ecosystem. This will encourage CSUF students, especially those from underrepresented groups, to pursue...
- This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to understand and control the interfacial dynamics governing the formation of discrete tiles of nanoparticle assemblies on functionalized fluid interfaces. The research combines experimental and computational methods to investigate and manipulate the thermodynamic and kinetic factors influencing nanoparticle assembly at fluid interfaces. The goal is to achieve precise control...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $425,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Northwestern University for a 3-year research project on the "Transient Physicochemical Properties of Nanomaterials." The grant supports experimental studies by Professor Richard Schaller to investigate the crystal lattices, surfaces, and surface ligand behavior of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. The research aims to elucidate the...
- The California State University Los Angeles Auxiliary Services Inc. was awarded a $475,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The grant funding will support the development of new plasmonic electrochemical microscopy centered techniques to advance single entity analysis. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to strengthen...
- This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Professor Anna D. Gudmundsdottir of the University of Cincinnati on the photodynamic and mechanical properties of crystalline compounds. The research team will investigate how benzoyl peroxide, alkyl- and aryl-azide derivatives respond to light exposure, including dramatic effects like dissociation, fracturing, and color changes. This...
This $455,580 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research on photothermal self-assembly to understand non-equilibrium crystallization, tunable phases, and reconfigurable shapes. The project, awarded to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation (a subsidiary of the California State University system), will involve laboratory experiments and computational modeling to elucidate how different structures and phases emerge under light-driven assembly conditions. The research activities will be carried out by students at the primarily undergraduate California State University, Fullerton, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, with the goal of reducing barriers to STEM education for non-scientists and introducing research-related topics into the undergraduate curriculum. Additionally, the project will design an interactive nanoparticle demonstration for K-12 students.
