The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin $149,999 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the mathematical theory of complex and multiphase media including films, foams, and liquid crystals with applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and soft and bio-inspired materials design. The project characterizes interfacial structures in films and foams that govern drainage processes and analytically predicts optimal configurations in mathematical models for phase transitions, fluid interfaces, and thin film liquid crystals. The research applies geometric measure theory, partial differential equations, and calculus of variations to predict the shape, size, and location of Plateau borders—thickened tubes of liquid surrounding junctions between films. The work extends to free boundary problems arising from spectral partitioning, cluster energies modeling immiscible fluids, and variational models for liquid crystals. The project incorporates training and mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students and conference organization. Performance occurs at Austin, Texas from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2029. No subawards are planned.
