The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded the University of Virginia $476,230 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct computational investigations of self-assembly under time-oscillatory interaction potentials. Professor Kateri Dubay will lead a team employing computational simulations to determine how nano-scale materials assemble themselves when interactions between them change over time. The research investigates the self-organization of model viral-like capsids and polymeric materials under temporally and spatially varying interaction potentials, using computational simulations coupled with analytical calculations to identify potential oscillations, fluctuations, and interaction gradients that yield novel and currently inaccessible stable nanoscale structures. Results will illuminate physics underlying assembly of ordered biological structures in variable cellular and tissue environments while providing routes toward synthetic manufacture of advanced materials applicable to energy production and storage, water purification, drug delivery, and construction of materials with quantum and photonic properties. The project will also train the next generation of research scientists in materials science, data science, and molecular and coarse-grained simulations while emphasizing responsible conduct of research. Performance occurs in Charlottesville, Virginia, with a period of performance from the award date through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
