- This Project Grant award, valued at $270,000.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), funds research on the physics of extreme environments where strong magnetic fields interact with relativistic matter at very high temperatures and densities. The research aims to deepen the understanding of how strong magnetic fields influence the behavior of matter under these extreme conditions, with potential applications in areas...
- This $456,714 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports a study of large-scale self-organization in three-dimensional shear-flow-driven magnetized plasma turbulence. The project, led by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, aims to use computer simulations to explore how magnetic fields are created and become smooth in turbulent plasma systems, such as those observed in fusion...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between Columbia University, West Virginia University, and New York University to study wave-particle interactions in 3D magnetic fields. The $350,077 award, granted on December 1, 2025, will run through November 30, 2028. The research aims to improve understanding of how energetic particles interact with waves in space and laboratory plasmas, with the potential to enhance capabilities in areas such as satellite protection, clean energy sources, and high-temperature plasma technologies. The project will leverage machine learning techniques to develop simplified models capturing the relevant dynamics. In addition to advancing scientific knowledge, the award will support student and early-career researcher training, develop educational tools, and promote open science through dissemination of videos, software, and tutorials.
