Federal Project Grant Summary Virginia Commonwealth University received a $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029. The award funds mathematical research and analysis of nonlocal interaction models with applications across physics and materials science, including nuclear fission dynamics, triblock copolymer self-assembly, and lipid bilayer behavior. The project delivers three primary research products: (1) development of a novel particle model and mathematical derivations for discrete nonlocal interaction energies in nuclear fission systems; (2) rigorous theoretical analysis of ternary inhibitory systems related to triblock copolymers in the thermodynamic limit; and (3) quantitative proofs on optimal transport problems applicable to lipid bilayer modeling. The research employs advanced mathematical techniques including nonlinear analysis, geometric analysis, optimization, and partial differential equations to address multiscale pattern formation phenomena. Secondary deliverables include research training and education for undergraduate and graduate students, contributing to workforce development in mathematical sciences. The project's findings are expected to inform the design and self-assembly of block copolymer-based nanomaterials with direct relevance to advanced manufacturing applications and provide broader insights into nonlocal interaction phenomenology across multiple scientific disciplines.
