During the inspiral phase, the work incorporates...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Nevada, Las Vegas $300,000 on January 1, 2027, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to develop machine-learning methods that infer neutron star equation-of-state physics from multi-messenger astronomical observations. The project provides a research fellowship to an assistant professor and training support for a graduate student. The fellowship recipient and graduate student will develop a bi-directional emulator that connects parameters defining the MUSES (Modular Unified Solver of the Equation of State) for neutron star matter to the astrophysical observables that EOS produces. This emulator removes computational barriers to robust studies of extreme matter under neutron star conditions, enabling investigation of model uncertainties and correlations that would otherwise be computationally infeasible. The work leverages high-performance computational resources and machine-learning expert training from the NSF-Simons Artificial Intelligence Institute for the Sky (SKAI Institute). The project is conducted in collaboration with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the SKAI Institute. Performance of work is conducted at Chicago, Illinois. Period of performance runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028. The funding is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type under the Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) EPSCOR Research Fellows program track.
