Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Nebraska received a $548,417 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The award supports fundamental research into the fluid mechanics of acoustically-actuated viscoelastic fluids at microscales. The primary deliverable is development of a first-of-its-kind multiphase and multicomponent immersed boundary computational framework to systematically investigate how sound waves interact with biologically relevant fluids such as blood and saliva. The research will generate predictive numerical codes that model acoustic-fluid-structure interactions at multiple scales, with particular focus on understanding how fluid viscoelasticity and particle elasticity shape flow and force fields in acoustofluidic systems. Beyond the core computational research, the award funds educational and dissemination activities including research and training opportunities for students, educational outreach activities, and development of freely available computational tools to promote open science. The knowledge generated is intended to advance healthcare technologies including portable medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery systems, personalized treatments, and soft robotic devices. The project will be conducted at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska.
