This Project Grant award of $450,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Emory University to study the structure and dynamics of low-energy excitations in glassy materials. The research aims to bridge the gap between mean-field theory and real-world disordered materials in 2 or 3 dimensions. The project applies exact and approximate algorithms to investigate the low-temperature properties of spin glasses, which are models for amorphous materials that fail to form a regular crystalline structure. The research outcomes are expected to advance the understanding of complexity in computational problems and the behavior of a wide range of real-world disordered materials. The award period runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
