Brandon Levin, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics, and
Elisabeth Krause, an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy and Department of Physics, are two of 128 researchers from the United States and Canada to be awarded 2021 Sloan Research Fellowships.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation annually awards two-year $75,000 fellowships to early-career faculty with doctoral or equivalent degree in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, Earth system science, economics, molecular biology, neuroscience or a related field. The fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by pre-tenure scientists with outstanding potential, according to the foundation.
"It is critical for our early-career researchers to receive recognition of their talent as well as support for their work," said
