This $164,403 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to investigate photonic topological insulators involving sharp interfaces and edges. The project aims to characterize the behavior of edge states in these materials, which can enable the development of compact and efficient on-chip devices for communication, data processing, and other photonic applications. Key objectives include identifying edge states on sharp interfaces and sharply truncated edges, and providing a family of materials that satisfy the required properties. The award was granted to DePaul University, a private research institution in Chicago, Illinois, from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027. The project provides opportunities for student learning, training, and research in this emerging area of photonic topological insulators.
