Graduate student Nicole Crumpler has received a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who demonstrate the potential to make significant contributions in STEM. The program also seeks to broaden participation in science and engineering of underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans. The three-year fellowship provides three years of financial support inclusive of an annual stipend of $37,000. Crumpler was recognized for her research in theoretical astrophysics.
Assistant Professor Yahui Zhang has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for his proposal titled “Superconductivity, fractionalization and quantum criticality in multilayer quantum simulator.” The NSF CAREER Awards are given in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through research and education, and the integration of these endeavors in the context of their organizations’ missions. The awards, presented once each year, include a federal grant for research and education activities for five consecutive years.
