This Project Grant award of $269,336 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, awarded on March 15, 2025, supports the University of Arkansas in developing the next generation of tools for nanoscale analysis of electrochemical interfaces. The project, led by Martin Edwards, aims to produce enhanced electroanalytical tools based on an electrochemical scanned-probe microscopy platform. These tools will allow mapping of the current-voltage response of electrochemically active interfaces under various solution conditions and with 10-1000 nm spatial resolution. The project will also involve the development of multiphysics finite element modeling to aid experimental design and interpretation of measurements. Additionally, the project will include an annual summer workshop to help develop in-demand skills in multiphysics modeling for participants ranging from upper-level undergraduate students to faculty. The resources developed for the workshop, such as step-by-step guides and recorded lectures, will be made publicly available through a web portal.
