Wednesday, October 5, 2011

School of Physics Assistant Professors Markus Kindermann and Daniel Goldman have been awarded National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Awards.

Dr. Goldman's (pictured at left) award will support his research on the "Discovery and Dissemination of Neuromechanical Principles of Swimming, Walking and Running in Granular Media."

Dr. Kindermann's (pictured at right) award will support his research on "Interactions and Entanglement in Electronic Nanostructures."

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. Such activities should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.
