The University of Texas at Tyler received a $199,995 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. This Early-career Researchers Initiative (ERI) award supports research to develop an integrated molecular simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) framework for designing task-specific ionic liquids (ILs)—customizable chemical compounds with applications in energy storage, carbon capture, water treatment, and advanced manufacturing. The project will deliver accurate force fields for molecular simulation, an ionic liquid-specific molecular transformer for property prediction, and a generative AI framework to expand the chemical space of ionic liquid discovery, enabling scalable design for applications such as refrigerant separation and critical material recovery. The research outcomes will produce a comprehensive ionic liquid database and design tools that support sustainable chemical processes, reduce pollution, and advance environmentally friendly technologies. The project emphasizes both intellectual merit and broader educational impacts, fostering opportunities for student engagement in computational chemistry and machine learning. No subawards are planned for this award, with all research activities conducted at the University of Texas at Tyler's Tyler, Texas location.Grant Award Summary
