Grant Award Summary Brown University received a $390,000 NSF CAREER award effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), administered by the Division of Materials Research. The project delivers research and development services focused on programming polymer assembly through multiscale molecular design. The research team will develop a high-throughput experimental platform capable of rapidly exploring thousands of material combinations using automated material handling and imaging to determine how ions direct polymer assembly into organized networks. The platform will enable quantitative assessment of how molecular inputs dictate network structure and performance, incorporating machine-learning approaches to map relationships between molecular design parameters and resulting material properties. The award encompasses both research deliverables and educational services. In addition to the core research platform development and associated experimental data and insights, the project includes an educational component conducted in collaboration with the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to create hands-on activities demonstrating how molecular interactions yield macroscopic material properties. The project aims to advance design principles for robust soft materials applicable to biotechnology, soft robotics, sustainable manufacturing, wearable electronics, and biomedical device interfaces while strengthening participation in STEM education and the future scientific workforce.
