The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded New York University $150,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to fund research activities of Professor Yifan Wang investigating novel structure in quantum field theory. The research develops new methods to study quantum systems where constituent parts interact too strongly for standard approximation methods to be reliable. Professor Wang will examine the connection between two closely linked concepts—symmetry and defects—to advance understanding of quantum field theories. The work investigates how defect dynamics reveal behavior of strongly interacting quantum systems, what universal principles govern defects, and how symmetry can yield reliable predictions when direct calculations are infeasible. The project includes development of new courses, training and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students, and dissemination of results through publications. Performance occurs at New York University in New York, New York, with a period of performance ending July 31, 2028.
