Project Grant 2606198
- Trustees of Boston University was awarded a three-year $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on dynamic bifurcation of patterns through spatio-temporal heterogeneity. The university will investigate how naturally occurring and man-made spatial patterns interact with heterogeneities in time and space using mathematical models from physics and other scientific domains. Researchers will...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Massachusetts Boston $140,000 on July 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study arithmetic and symmetry structures in quantum cohomology. The project investigates number-theoretic patterns embedded in quantum cohomology, a mathematical theory originating in string theory and geometric physics. The investigator will pursue two related directions: first,...

The three-year award runs from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding will support research examining multiscale phenomena and rare events in...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $244,999 to the Trustees of Boston University on September 1, 2026, for theoretical research on stochastic dynamics of cortical neural networks under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The research develops statistical field theoretical frameworks linking neural and synaptic biology to collective network dynamics, using tools from statistical field theory applied to soft-threshold neuron...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The Trustees of Boston University received a $225,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027. This award funds research on rational points on algebraic curves, specifically advancing methods to explicitly determine finite sets of rational solutions to polynomial equations of genus 2 or...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $146,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Trustees of Boston University on August 15, 2025, for research on the arithmetic geometry and representation theory of the local Langlands correspondence. The project, which will be completed by July 31, 2027, focuses on developing an explicit theory of cuspidal vector bundles to bridge geometric and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical and computational research and education into quantum mechanical systems of interacting particles far from equilibrium. The $294,777 award to the Trustees of Boston University will focus on two major themes: (1) understanding, characterizing, and controlling chaos in interacting many-particle systems; and (2) developing formalism for...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute $269,117 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop mathematical foundations and computational methods for simulating quantum materials. The award funds development of a rigorous and scalable framework for high-accuracy electronic-structure simulation of quantum materials using periodic coupled-cluster theory, addressing current...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the Trustees of Boston University $250,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance mathematical and computational understanding of quasi-periodic and quasi-crystalline patterns in partial differential equation models. The project develops new mathematical and numerical continuation techniques to characterize coherent structures—including fronts, defects, and localized pulsatile solutions—that involve quasipatterns. The work describes how processes such as growth, quenching, and heterogeneity can be used to harness, fabricate, and manufacture quasi-periodic structures, with applications in self-assembled nano-structured materials, membranes, photonic materials, and adaptive or programmable functionalized materials. The award includes educational outreach to promote interest in mathematics and its applications to industry and science, and establishes a research training program providing experience, opportunities, and mentoring at the undergraduate level and in-depth training at the graduate level. Performance of work occurs in Boston, Massachusetts, with a period of performance through August 31, 2029.
