Grants

Society significantly benefits from scientific research, but it wouldn’t be possible without generous contributions from public and private sources.

This page is a testament to that support. With it, Northeastern’s College of Science has cultivated a dynamic landscape of research activity. Through a culture that emphasizes entrepreneurship, our exceptional faculty, staff, and student researchers are able to maximize the impact of their work.

The grants listed below are a preview of the science and scientists of tomorrow, who probe single cells, the outer limit of particle physics, and everything in between.

    Moduli Spaces and Geometric Microlocal Analysis Metrics with singularities are important objects in differential geometry and arise naturally in algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, number theory, representation theory, etc. This project involves studying singular metrics using geometric microlocal analysis. The central idea is to introduce new objects, called compactifications or resolutions, to resolve the singularities. These…Read More
