The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $145,000 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate temperature and disorder chaos in Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) models, level curves of random surfaces, and critical random geometry. The recipient will examine landscape complexity of disordered systems exhibiting KPZ universal features, combining static and dynamical approaches to develop novel techniques for understanding universality in random geometry and polymer models. Work includes exploring connections to Liouville quantum gravity at criticality and pursuing interdisciplinary collaborations to apply stochastic growth techniques to cancer and epidemic modeling. The program encompasses a strong educational component, including mentorship of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, course development, and survey article writing. Performance occurs in Berkeley, California, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2028. The award is structured as a Project Grant.
