This $537,800 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program was awarded to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) on May 1, 2025. The grant supports Professor Jochen Autschbach of the University at Buffalo in developing and applying quantum theoretical methods and computer simulations to investigate properties of molecules and molecular assemblies, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters, natural optical activity, and the behavior of organic radicals. The research aims to establish and refine structure-property relationships that can inform the design of new catalysts and light-emitting materials. The project also provides training for graduate and undergraduate students, creates high school summer internships in scientific programming, and produces free-to-use educational visualizations and open-source computational research tools. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which is expected to be completed by April 30, 2028.
