The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) on March 15, 2024. The grant, titled "(YIP) UNDERSTANDING, MAPPING, AND GENERATING MICROSTRUCTURES WITH HIGHER-ORDER STATISTIC EUCLIDEAN NEURAL NETWORKS," supports research to advance scientific knowledge and develop new capabilities in areas relevant to the Air Force, including fundamental studies in engineering, physics, materials science, and computer science. The grant will fund MIT's work to conduct cutting-edge research in emerging technologies such as microstructures, neural networks, and advanced materials over a 3-year performance period ending on March 14, 2027. This grant supports the Air Force's broader efforts to maintain technological superiority, prevent technological surprise, and foster a strong research infrastructure through collaborations between universities, industry, and government laboratories.
