The University of Notre Dame DU Lac received a $407,064 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under CFDA 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The grant funds research investigating the microscopic origins of low-energy collective excitations and thermoelectric transport in moiré superlattices—specifically twisted bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide systems where flat electronic bands and strong interactions dominate physical behavior. The research employs near-field microscopy and combined optical and electrical measurement techniques to probe material response at extremely small scales, with the objective of understanding how internal electronic structure governs macroscopic properties and identifying previously inaccessible physical regimes in these novel quantum materials. The award integrates substantial educational and outreach components alongside the research program. The University will train undergraduate and graduate students through hands-on experience in nanofabrication, cryogenic measurements, and data analysis. Additionally, the institution will deliver summer science camps for middle and high school students and produce a publicly accessible video series designed to demystify advanced materials science and introduce young learners to modern physical science. These combined research and educational efforts aim to develop the next generation of scientists and engineers in materials innovation and emerging technologies aligned with NSF's mission to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
