The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Iowa State University of Science and Technology $150,000 on August 1, 2026, for pure mathematics research in neostability and continuous logic under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award funds research applying model theory—specifically stability and neostability theory—to improve the reliability of computer programming, numerical analysis, control theory, and robotics. The project focuses on continuous logic, an extension of model theory that applies model-theoretic tools to continuous structures rather than discrete ones, with potential applications to formal verification of large language model-generated code and connections to machine learning theory and quantum information theory. Performance occurs in Ames, Iowa, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029.
