The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded $700,000 to the University of Delaware under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a CAREER award to Professor Alexei Kananenka. The five-year project, initiated July 15, 2026 and concluding June 30, 2031, will develop theoretical and computational approaches to measure microscopic electric fields in complex chemical systems using excited-state symmetry breaking (ESSB). The research advances vibrational Stark effect (VSE) methodology by designing new computational tools and conducting atomistic simulations to determine fundamental mechanisms of ESSB in interfacial and condensed-phase systems. These deliverables will yield experimental protocols for accurate measurement of electric field strength and directionality in technologically relevant applications including electrolyte-electrode interfaces, battery electrolytes, and catalytic systems. In addition to the core research products, the award supports development of an artificial intelligence-based learning tool for K-12 students studying photophysics fundamentals. The project emphasizes creation of advanced, flexible, and polarizable force fields for atomistic simulations, with investigations focused on symmetric quadrupolar molecules. These integrated research and educational outputs will deepen understanding of ESSB-based sensing approaches for characterizing local chemical environments across multiple scientific and industrial domains.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
