Three SAS Faculty Awarded Sloan Fellowships
Three young scientists from the School of Arts and Sciences are among the five Penn scholars who have been named Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows for 2010.
- Justin Khoury, an assistant professor of physics, researches theoretical particle cosmology.
- Elliot Lipeles, also an assistant professor of physics, researches experimental particle physics.
- Nicole Rust, an assistant professor in psychology, researches behavioral neuroscience.
"These awards are a great recognition of the range and vitality of our faculty's research," Penn Provost Vincent Price said. "They are also a strong affirmation of Penn's junior faculty, who are our next generation of intellectual and research leaders."
The awards support research in physics, chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics and neuroscience. Each year 118 fellows are selected from across the nation.
The Sloan Research Fellowships' $50,000 grants will allow the recipients to continue their research for the next two years.
