Featured Faculty

Prof. Santos’ goal is to unleash the full potential of fractal Hofstadter bands, and to establish them as platforms to catalyze new interacting quantum phenomena, such as pairing of electrons in fractal bands under large magnetic flux and novel topological quantum critical phenomena.

Professor Connie Roth is awarded an NSF Special Creativity grant in 2022 for her unique research into polymer material properties at the local nanoscale level.

Prof. Weissman will use mathematical models, computer simulations, and analysis of genetic data to determine the quantitative rules of pathogen evolution

Prof. Sussman will pursue an integrated program of theoretical research, computational study, and educational activity on a novel type of disordered solid.

Prof. Nemenman was appointed as a distinguished chair based on his numerous research accomplishments and his extraordinary service for the university.

Prof. Shekhar has been awarded $250,000 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to acquire a state-of-the-art, spinning (iLas) total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscope.

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation has selected Katherine Davis, Physics Graduate Program member and Assistant Professor of Chemistry, as one of eleven recipients of their prestigious Young Investigator Award.
