Cornell University announced April 15 that 12 of their faculty members, including Indian American assistant professors Rachit Agarwal and Eshan Chattopadhyay, were honored with the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development, or CAREER, award.
Over the next five years, each will receive approximately $400,000 to $500,000 from the program, which supports early-career faculty âwho 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,â according to the NSF website.
Agarwal and Chattopadhyay are both assistant professors of computer science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.

Scientists developed a model showing that a fragile, temporary state of immunity emerged during the early epidemic but got destroyed as people changed their social behaviors over time, leading to future waves of infection
Scientists modeling the spread of COVID-19 showed that a temporary state of immunity
arises due to individual differences in social behaviors. This ‘transient collective immunity’ referring to when the susceptible or more social groups collectively have been infected&mdashgets destroyed as people modify their social behaviors over time. For example, someone who isolated in the early days of the epidemic may at some point renew their social networks, meeting with small groups or large crowds.
