The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded the University of Rochester $400,000 on September 1, 2026, to develop methodologically consistent free-energy density functional theory computational tools for predicting plasma and materials behavior under extreme conditions. The award supports research in ab initio molecular dynamics simulation and the construction of exchange-correlation free-energy density functionals that resolve logical inconsistencies in current modeling approaches for warm dense matter and non-ideal plasmas. The work builds on previous advances by teams from the University of Rochester and the University of Florida to advance predictive capacity for inertial fusion energy reactors and extreme-condition materials across wide temperature and pressure ranges. The project operates under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) and runs through August 31, 2029, with place of performance in Rochester, New York.
