This Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) EPSCOR Research Fellows project awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) provides $288,117 in funding to the University of South Carolina from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2028. The award supports an assistant professor fellowship and postdoctoral fellow training to develop a data-driven framework for understanding heterochiral charge-density-wave states in twisted van der Waals crystals and their alloys. Through collaboration with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the project will combine first-principles calculations and machine learning techniques to model subtle atomic displacements and evaluate the electronic signatures of these unusual quantum materials. The primary deliverables include open-access databases and software tools designed to accelerate discovery in quantum materials research, alongside novel structural modeling approaches that can efficiently capture multi-scale atomic displacements in large-scale systems. The project will advance workforce development by training personnel in artificial intelligence, quantum science, and machine learning while building institutional research capacity. The outcomes are intended to inform the development of faster and more energy-efficient memory devices and establish new interdisciplinary expertise in artificial intelligence for materials design within the research community.
