The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $315,513 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to Trustees of Dartmouth College's Office of Sponsored Projects Division, doing business as Dartmouth College, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030.
The funding will support Dartmouth's research project titled "CAREER: EFFICIENT DISTANCE SKETCHING ON GRAPHS WITH GEOMETRIC STRUCTURES". The project aims to develop novel methods for representing, compressing, and sketching distances on networks and geometric data structures, with a focus on practical algorithmic solutions. The research leverages the interplay between metric embeddings, topological graph theory, and geometric algorithms to tackle distance-related optimization problems where current approaches are inefficient, inaccurate, or nonexistent. The project also includes an integrated education and mentoring plan to enhance mathematical literacy and critical thinking skills among local college and high school students in the New Hampshire and Vermont area.
