This Project Grant award, totaling $240,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports a research project at Stony Brook University that focuses on studying mixing times, cutoff, and limit profiles of Markov chains.

The research aims to develop versatile techniques for bounding mixing times and establishing the occurrence of the cutoff phenomenon in Markov chains, which are widely used in probability theory, theoretical computer science, statistical physics, cryptography, and biology. The project will explore various models, including particle systems, exclusion processes, random walks on groups, and card shuffling. The primary goal is to advance scientific understanding across disciplines such as computer science, cryptography, physics, and biology, while also providing research opportunities for graduate students. No subawards are planned under this grant.
