This federal Project Grant award of $325,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a collaborative research project between Professor Jason Bates at the University of Virginia and Professor Brandon Bukowski at Johns Hopkins University. The project aims to develop new approaches to improve the productivity and durability of molecular catalysts through supporting them on nanostructured solids. The research will focus on asymmetric hydrogenation, an important catalytic reaction in pharmaceutical production, and the team will integrate experimental and computational studies to establish a materials-driven approach to molecular catalyst design. The project will also provide educational and outreach activities to train students in cutting-edge experimental and machine learning techniques and engage high school students through hands-on science programs. The award has an initial term of approximately 3 years, from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
