- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research that leverages the recent detection of gravitational waves to provide new insights into black holes, neutron stars, and the expansion of the universe. The funded research aims to analyze the rapidly growing catalog of gravitational wave sources, which is expected to expand from the current 90 confirmed events to over 300 by 2027. By studying the population...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $219,328.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research to utilize powerful geometric concepts, known as classical surface theories, to deepen the understanding of gravity, black holes, and the fabric of spacetime. Key objectives include evaluating the quasi-local mass of binary black holes, defining angular momentum in general...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The primary goal of the project is to develop novel numerical simulations and data-driven models to predict gravitational wave signals from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. This research will test Einstein's general relativity under extreme conditions and help maximize...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $400,000.00 in funding to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia to investigate new predictions and phenomena of general relativity using gravitational wave measurements.

This $320,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to Princeton University supports research focused on understanding the strong-field regime of Einstein's theory of general relativity. The key objectives include: Numerical simulations of black hole collisions to support the emerging field of gravitational wave astronomy that began with the 2015 LIGO detection of black hole mergers. This work will investigate alternative sources of the LIGO observations to either confirm general relativity or discover new physics. Theoretical investigations into the behavior of black holes at their maximum rotation rates and when two black holes colliding at close to the speed of light. This research will be conducted by graduate students as part of their thesis work, providing hands-on training in leading-edge scientific research, high-performance computing, and numerical methods. The award runs from Aug 15, 2025 through Jul 31, 2027.
