The University of Connecticut received a $530,000 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031. The award funds the development of advanced nonlinear analysis frameworks and computational tools for characterizing time-varying wall-bounded shear flows—a critical capability gap where existing linearization-based methods fail to capture essential transient and nonlinear effects. The primary deliverables include a suite of analysis methodologies based on Lyapunov theory for nonlinear stability analysis, input-output analysis, and feedback control applications, with progressive complexity from periodic to non-periodic to unknown time-dependent flows. The research outcomes will generate computational models and analytical frameworks applicable to engineering systems with practical impact in aircraft safety during takeoff and landing, vehicle fuel efficiency improvements, and electronic cooling system optimization. The award requires integration of educational and outreach activities designed to support workforce development in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields across multiple educational levels, consistent with NSF Engineering program requirements that couple research innovation with human capital development and support for advanced manufacturing competitiveness.Federal Grant Award Summary
