This $390,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports theoretical studies of electron transport and energy relaxation mechanisms in topological and superconducting materials systems. The key research focus areas include: 1) investigating the topological properties and excitonic insulating phase in Weyl semimetals, 2) studying nonreciprocal electron transport in the hydrodynamic regime, and 3) examining the influence of energy dissipation on charge transport in superconducting devices. This research program, led by the University of Washington, also integrates an educational component to provide training for graduate students and research opportunities for undergraduates in quantum condensed matter theory. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. No subwards are planned under this grant.
