Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of California, San Diego received a $500,000 project grant awarded October 1, 2026, from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) for the CAREER program titled "Nature-Inspired, 3D-Architected Photonic Surfaces to Elucidate Structure and Disease in Fibrous Tissue." The primary deliverable is the development and investigation of a novel class of three-dimensionally architected photonic surfaces designed to nondestructively map structural properties of biological specimens—particularly fibrous tissue—by leveraging polarized light interactions to produce quantitative color responses. These nature-inspired surfaces, modeled after structural color mechanisms found in butterfly wings and beetle shells, will enable ultrasensitive visualization of tissue microstructural properties without chemical stains or physical contact, advancing diagnostic capabilities for fibrotic diseases while offering broader applications in display technology and information security. The award extends through September 30, 2031, and integrates significant education and workforce development components alongside the core research. Deliverables include the establishment of a "Micro Nano Technology Research Experience" program targeting community college students for technician career preparation and implementation of the "MAE Bridge to Math Success" program to improve math readiness and reduce engineering student attrition. These educational initiatives aim to strengthen the talent pipeline for the semiconductor and photonics sectors, positioning the project to generate both fundamental scientific knowledge and practical workforce development outcomes aligned with national priorities in advanced manufacturing and biotechnology.
