- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The Ohio State University $300,000 on June 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study quantum symmetries of topologically ordered quantum spin systems. The project develops operator algebra and higher category theory approaches to understand quantum symmetries in quantum spin systems, which serve as mathematical models for local quantum error correction codes in quantum...
- The Ohio State University received a $199,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund research from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 to develop new theoretical and computational techniques for reducing computational costs and accurately controlling statistical risks in the analysis of u-statistics. The University will conduct innovative analysis to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The Ohio State University $129,941 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop and empirically validate mathematical models quantifying how species respond to habitat fragmentation. The project integrates mathematical modeling, laboratory experiments, and field observations to generate practical guidance for wildlife corridor design, ecosystem restoration, and habitat connectivity. The research develops a partial differential equation framework incorporating edge effects and biological trade-offs at local scales, then scales to a metapopulation ordinary differential equation model examining patch-configuration impacts through a novel fitness variation index. Model parameters and predictions are calibrated against controlled laboratory experiments and long-term field data. The work will produce open-source computational tools supporting conservation planning, along with course-based undergraduate research, workshops, and outreach activities to broaden participation in quantitative biology and translate mathematical findings into conservation practice. Performance is located in Columbus, Ohio, with a period of performance from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2029.
