Funding Agency and Program: National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Chemistry, Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Award Details: Clarkson University received a $697,770 Project Grant awarded July 15, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2031, to support the CAREER (Careers in Research and Education) project titled "Machine Learning-Assisted First-Principles Modeling of Ultrafast Photoexcitation in 2D Heterostructures," led by Principal Investigator Dhara J. Trivedi. Products and Services Delivered: The project will deliver integrated first-principles computational modeling frameworks and machine learning-driven materials discovery tools to investigate light-matter interactions in two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors. Key deliverables include advanced computational methodologies combining many-body electronic structure methods (GW-BSE) with nonadiabatic molecular dynamics to model photoexcitation processes, exciton formation, and charge-transfer dynamics across material interfaces. The project will produce open-source software tools and a publicly accessible materials database accessible to the broader computational materials research community. Educational deliverables include the 10-week "Q-Chem Cadets" program providing coding and computational chemistry training for high school students and teachers, and a new interdisciplinary course equipping students with transferable computational skills connecting fundamental science to emerging technological applications. These research and educational outputs aim to advance fundamental understanding of light-driven processes in atomically thin materials and contribute to next-generation sustainable energy conversion, sensing, and optoelectronic device technologies.Federal Project Grant Summary
