Award Details: NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 – Mathematical and Physical Sciences) awarded $269,117 to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on August 15, 2026, for a CAREER (Integrating Research and Education) project extending through July 31, 2031. Products and Services: This project develops mathematical foundations and computational methods to improve the reliability and systematic accuracy of quantum materials simulations. The primary deliverable is a rigorous, scalable framework for high-accuracy electronic-structure simulation using periodic coupled-cluster theory, a wavefunction-based method that addresses current limitations in computational tools for strongly correlated quantum materials. The project addresses a critical gap in materials research by making wavefunction-based approaches, traditionally reserved for molecular prediction, practically applicable to extended crystalline materials relevant to superconductivity and emergent quantum phases. Beyond the scientific computational advances, the award funds interdisciplinary educational activities that train students across applied mathematics, physics, computer science, and materials science, reflecting the collaborative nature of modern quantum materials research. The project integrates research and education through a three-pronged approach that recasts periodic coupled-cluster theory as a nonlinear Petrov–Galerkin method to overcome computational bottlenecks limiting current wavefunction-based methods for periodic systems.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
