This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports Dr. David J. Masiello of the University of Washington in developing theoretical models and numerical tools to study chiral light-matter interactions in 2D periodic plasmonic lattices.

The $434,688 award will enable Masiello and his team to investigate the optical properties and excitation modes of lattice plasmon polaritons in various lattice geometries, such as honeycomb, kagome, and moiré structures. The research aims to elucidate how these complex optical environments can be engineered to preferentially couple to surrounding chiral molecular excitations. The project will produce analytical models and open-source computational codes to describe the eigenstructure and optical response of these tailored plasmonic systems. The broader impacts include mentoring undergraduate students and training the next generation of leaders in science and technology.
