- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $449,999.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award supports the "Axion Resonant Interaction Detection Experiment" (ARIADNE) project, a collaborative research effort aimed at completing the setup of an experiment to detect axions - a potential form of dark matter. The project will train a team of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and...
- Humberto Gilmer was awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship under the federal grant program "Mathematical and Physical Sciences" (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research and broadening participation activities from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Dr. Gilmer will explore a model of self-interacting dark matter to provide an understanding of how dark matter mediates gravitational interaction on galactic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "HAYSTAC POST-INFLATION - THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE, BASED ON ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS, INDICATES THAT THE TOTAL MASS CONSISTS OF...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The fellowship supports a 4-year research and training project at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, under the mentorship of sponsoring scientist David Speyer. The project is titled "Combinatorial Shadows from Coxeter Groups in Representations of Algebras and Kazhdan-Lusztig Theory". This award reflects NSF's mission...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to support a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant funding advances the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the four-year fellowship will allow the recipient to increase their store of knowledge and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports collaborative research through the Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Cold (Dark Matter) (HAYSTAC) experiment, which aims to detect dark matter in the form of axion particles. The research seeks to advance scientific understanding of the dominant form of matter in the universe, which is believed to be dark...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Dr. Bagherian to research the fundamental properties of dark matter particles, including axions, a hypothesized dark matter candidate. The project aims to advance theoretical frameworks and computational techniques to guide and interpret experimental searches for dark matter, leveraging numerical calculations, simulations, and model building. This research contributes to the progress of science and has the potential to impact societal welfare through a deeper understanding of the universe. In addition, Dr. Bagherian plans to present a series of educational programs and develop a website to provide information on the graduate school application process, financial considerations, and career paths.
