The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Iowa State University of Science and Technology $240,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research on problems in local and fractional elliptic partial differential equations involving surfaces. The research addresses mathematical foundations for computational and artificial intelligence algorithms in surface design and shape optimization, with applications to data interpolation, image reconstruction, and industrial design such as ship hulls and car surfaces. The project also analyzes nonlocal mathematical models—describing systems with long-range interactions or action at a distance—relevant to climatology, plasma physics, population dynamics, disease spread, viscoelasticity, and social media dynamics. A key focus involves understanding how boundary conditions and interfaces influence nonlocal phenomena, with outcomes intended to support reliable computational implementation and artificial intelligence models in climate science, population growth prediction, and epidemiological applications. The award funds graduate student training, collaboration with researchers at other U.S. institutions, and publication of results in scientific journals. Performance occurs at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029.
