(Wilcox, Bethany R - 2022) -- Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) uri icon

Overview

description

  • Two young physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have been awarded the Early Career Development Program (CAREER) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) to improve the teaching of quantum mechanics to students and to search for new kinds of fluids.

    Bethany Wilcox, assistant professor of physics, has won $745,000 in support for a five-year research project to develop tools that can be used to improve teaching of quantum mechanics. Additionally, Assistant Professor Andrew Lucas has won $500,000 in support of a five-year research project to predict new kinds of fluids that can exist in nature.

    The CAREER Program, one of the NSF’s most prestigious awards, supports early career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
