- This $339,994 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to advance the fundamental theoretical understanding of wave turbulence in the atmosphere and oceans. The award to New York University (NYU) will fund a multi-pronged effort combining theory and numerical modeling in three key areas: 1) investigating how broadband wave spectra can emerge from monochromatic wave sources through interactions with mean...
The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded Tulane University $219,999 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research in asymptotic analysis, probability theory, and Riemann-Hilbert problems with application to understanding extreme events in complex systems. The project investigates how large-scale, unexpected events arise in mathematically governed systems, including rogue waves modeled through nonlinear partial differential equations, emergent orderly behavior from large numbers of interacting waves, and universal patterns emerging from randomness in systems with many components. The investigator develops mathematical theories to characterize and predict these phenomena, with applications across multiple scientific disciplines. The award funds research, education, and workforce development activities. The investigator engages graduate students and postdoctoral researchers through collaborative research, workshops, and mentoring, and participates in outreach bringing middle-school students to campus for mathematics workshops led by graduate and postdoctoral researchers. Work is performed in New Orleans, Louisiana with a period of performance from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029.
