- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $530,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new computer simulation models for studying light-driven chemical processes. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2023, will enable the Neuscamman research group to create advanced tools for accurately simulating the movement of electrons and molecules in response to light...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the Chemical Mechanism, Function, and Properties Program of the Chemistry Division at the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), provides $380,000 to Professor Vladimir Popik of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia. The grant supports the development of a novel strategy for selective activation of bioactive compounds using near-infrared (NIR) light or low-level X-ray radiation. The project explores the feasibility of inducing photochemical reactions in UV-VIS opaque media, with the goal of enabling selective treatment of localized malignancies while minimizing harmful systemic side effects. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027 and provides interdisciplinary training opportunities for students in areas such as synthetic and physical organic chemistry, photochemistry, biochemistry, and nanotechnology.
