This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $600,000 to Auburn University to advance the understanding of nano-polaritons - waves that combine light and matter and can be used to control energy and information at the nanoscale. The research team will explore how these waves behave when moving across materials of different shapes and sizes, which could lead to more efficient ways to send and control information and energy at the nanoscale. The project will also support hands-on education and outreach activities for the public, integrate the research products into university coursework, and provide comprehensive training for undergraduate students in nanomaterial fabrication and optical simulations. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2028.
