- This $371,708 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports fundamental research at Cornell University to develop heuristic rules for enhancing the stability and kinetic accessibility of nanoparticle superlattices. The research aims to formulate and test molecular-simulation based heuristics to predict the correlation between nanoparticle interactions and their self-assembly into target superlattice structures, including for...
This federal Project Grant award, titled "IUSE/PFE: RED INNOVATION: INTEGRATING A LIVING LABORATORY IN CHEMICAL AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING TO CREATE A RESPONSIVE AND DYNAMIC EDUCATIONAL ECOSYSTEM", is funded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The $1,000,000 award, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030, aims to enhance chemical and biomolecular engineering education at Cornell University and beyond. The project seeks to deconstruct traditional teaching and learning approaches by revolutionizing content, assessment, and pedagogy to establish a "living laboratory ecosystem" that is responsive and dynamic to current events, student learning trajectories, and faculty needs. Additionally, the project aims to reshape the school's culture to value this living laboratory ecosystem that embraces failure as a learning opportunity and encourages continuous improvement through informed risk-taking in the classroom and pedagogical innovation.
