- This Project Grant award, valued at $240,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports research on the mechanics of non-Euclidean elastic thin sheets, with a focus on hyperbolic geometries that lead to spontaneously formed complex shapes found in natural soft materials such as leaves, flowers, sea slugs, and corals. The research aims to uncover the rules governing the shapes and...
- This $309,797 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a two-pronged research effort to study the emergence of long-range coherence in motile microorganismal systems with quenched disorder. The first component involves experimental studies of bacteria, amoeba, and bladder cancer cells in disordered environments to understand how self-propelled motion leads to large-scale collective behavior. The...
