CBET-EPSRC: Surfactant impact on drag reduction of superhydrophobic surfaces in turbulent flows
Superhydrophobic surfaces combine water repellency and microscale texture to yield several surprising and useful properties. When immersed in water, superhydrophobic surfaces can e...
Probabilistic Performance Assessment and Control Co-Design of Wave Farms
The objective of this project is to understand the principles of integrating the design of an engineering system and its control to achieve system-optimal performance for complex l...
Developing and Encouraging Engineering Professionals within a Commuter Student Population
This project will contribute to the national need for skilled scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians. It will do so by supporting the retention and graduation of h...
Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Award: Social Interaction, Community Formation, and Interaction in Borderlands
This doctoral dissertation research project examines how societies living on the edges of more complexly organized groups engage with the material culture of these groups and, by e...
Collaborative Research: Chemical and genetic mechanisms driving microbial interactions in a model microbiome
Microbes live in complex communities throughout the environment, but it remains unclear how specific microbes become members or maintain their role in these communities. This proje...
Vibrational Structure and Thermal Transport in Statically and Dynamically Disordered Crystals
NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY This award supports research and educational activities with an aim to advance our fundamental understanding of thermal transport in solid materials. Therma...
Developing underserved elementary students’ systems thinking and economic literacy through investigations of local ecological-economic systems
This project will advance efforts to better understand and promote practices that broaden access to and interest in regionally relevant science, technology, engineering, and math (...
CAREER: PolyQ Proteins Phase Transition Induced by Lipid Vesicles
The structure-function paradigm states that protein structure dictates function. However, this concept has been challenged by recent discoveries that ~40% of proteins in eukaryotic...
Twisted Bilayer Sonic Crystal: A New Playground for Twistronics
Sonic crystals are artificially engineered materials that can control sound in unconventional ways, such as to camouflage sound or confine sound at desired locations. While single...
I-Corps - Theranostic nanofiber membrane for the treatment of chronic and burn wounds
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a point-of-care product that diagnoses and treats bacterial infection in chronic wounds based...
Collaborative Research: How bacteria control manganese(IV) oxide biomineralization using a multicopper oxidase complex
With this award, the Chemistry of Life Processes Program in the Chemistry Division is funding Dr. Bradley Tebo from Oregon Health & Science University and Dr. Thomas Spiro from the...
EAGER: Reimagining Teachers' Assessment Literacy Using Game-Based Learning Analytics
The underlying premise of big data in education is that technology can help teachers and schools make data-informed decisions to better support student learning. As technology use...
I-Corps: Handheld electric toothbrush with built-in vacuum and a collection reservoir to reduce aspiration risk
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a powered toothbrush with built-in suction to decrease aspiration risk during brushing. Pediat...
RUI: Confronting Structural Complexity in the Computational Design and Understanding of Perovskite Materials for Solar Energy Conversion
NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY This RUI award supports computational research to design and understand "perovskite" compounds, a technologically important class of materials with the abil...
Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure: Experimental Facility with Large-Scale, Multi-directional, Hybrid Simulation Testing Capabilities 2021-2025
The Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a distributed, multi-user national facility to provide the...
Principles of Geometrically-Frustrated Assembly
NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY This award supports theoretical and computational research and education to advance fundamental understanding of geometrically frustrated self-assembly of s...
Collaborative Research: The leaky rake to solid plate transition on flow through biological filtering structures
Numerous small organisms that swim, fly, smell, or feed in flow rely on branched, bristled and hairy structures that are significant to biological and biomedical applications. The...
Derived Categories, Hodge Theory, and Birational Geometry
Algebraic geometry is the study of the geometric objects -- called algebraic varieties -- defined by systems of polynomial equations. A fundamental problem is to classify algebraic...
Institute in Critical Quantitative, Computational, and Mixed Methods Training For Underrepresented Scholars
The project is a collaborative effort lead by Washington University and involving Vanderbilt University, and the University of Pennsylvania to establish an Institute in Critical Qu...
I-Corps: Mechanistic solid-state welding model for materially efficient metal extrusions
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a sustainable manufacturing process that reduces the costs and time to market for light metal...
