The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Yale University. The grant, with an award date of October 1, 2025 and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2029, aims to design a new class of engineered artificial materials known as metamaterials that exhibit high refractive indices. These metamaterials have the potential to enable faster computers, better cameras, enhanced augmented reality displays, and high-speed communication by controlling and guiding light in ways not possible with naturally occurring substances. The project will use a multi-scale inverse design approach driven by advanced computational modeling and machine learning to create these novel materials, and will validate the designed properties through thermal imaging and nonlinear optical activation testbeds. The research will also train a new generation of scientists and engineers through interdisciplinary experiences spanning physics, chemistry, computation, AI, and materials science, while broadening participation in cutting-edge science.
