The National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $309,038 to the University of Wisconsin–Madison (effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a unified mathematical framework connecting random matrices with prescribed margins, Schrödinger bridges, and optimal transport theory. The project delivers foundational theoretical research that bridges two previously separate mathematical domains—random matrix theory (applicable to contingency tables, transportation problems, and random graphs) and the linked framework of static Schrödinger bridges and optimal transport. The research demonstrates that solutions derived from probabilistic principles (unbiased random completion) and optimization principles (efficient pathways) exhibit remarkably similar structure, enabling development of novel generative modeling methods for multimodal artificial intelligence applications, such as converting sketches into photographs without paired training examples. Beyond core research deliverables, the award supports graduate and undergraduate research training, high school and community college outreach activities, and cross-disciplinary workshops. This CAREER-track project integrates research and education to advance theoretical foundations applicable to real-world challenges in traffic planning, artificial intelligence, and data science while building research capacity in the mathematical sciences workforce.Federal Project Grant Summary
