Auburn University received a $464,905 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research (CFDA 47.049 – Mathematical and Physical Sciences) awarded April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2029. The award funds a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program titled "Research Experience in Multiscale Modeling of Matter Embracing Disciplines in Engineering and Sciences." The program will engage ten undergraduate participants in computational research and education focused on multiscale modeling of materials and molecules, integrating methodologies such as electronic-structure theory, atomistic and molecular simulations, continuum modeling, and machine learning-based data-driven approaches. The REU program delivers interdisciplinary research training and workforce development services by pairing undergraduate students with faculty mentors to conduct collaborative computational studies addressing how physical behavior emerges across distinct length and time scales. Deliverables include direct research experience, collaborative team projects, group discussions, seminars, and professional development activities designed to prepare participants for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The program prioritizes recruiting students from institutions with limited access to research opportunities and high-performance computing resources, thereby strengthening the nation's STEM workforce pipeline and advancing fundamental scientific understanding in materials and molecular science.Federal Grant Award Summary
