The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Jackson State University $500,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) for computational research into metal halide perovskites and machine learning applications in optoelectronic materials design. The project supports research investigating how light illumination affects the performance of metal halide perovskites in solar cells and optoelectronic devices. The work integrates light-induced trajectory surface hopping (LITSH) and time-dependent density functional theory methods to develop the L-T-A model, which will advance understanding of degradation mechanisms in these materials when exposed to light. Research outcomes aim to inform the design of next-generation perovskite materials with improved properties for energy generation and medical imaging applications. The award strengthens research and teaching capabilities at Jackson State University, a historically black college and university in Jackson, Mississippi, and enhances connectivity among research efforts through artificial intelligence integration. The project includes hands-on student training in AI development and computational methods, with research modules designed to serve as training platforms for future use at other HBCUs. Student participation supports workforce development in artificial intelligence within Mississippi, positioning graduates for careers as AI engineers or STEM educators in middle and high schools. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with performance at Jackson, Mississippi.
