When entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Caltech alumnus Ross M. Brown (BS' 56, MS '57) established the Brown Investigator Awards in 2020, one of the first honorees was Caltech physics professor David Hsieh. It was a natural fit. Hsieh's research, whic
Caltech receives one of the largest gifts in its history - $400 million from Ross M. Brown. Caltech will use the gift to establish the Brown Institute for Basic Science.
The theoretical chemist, who will get up to $2 million over five years, is the first UCLA professor to receive the honor.
Armitage, who has been at Hopkins since 2006, will receive $2 million over the next five years for mid-career, curiosity-driven research
Apr 9, 2021 Irvine’s research spans soft condensed matter, optics and topological fluid mechanics, with an interest in geometry and advanced optical techniques. Many phenomena in nature, from complex flows to the ways materials self-assemble and break, are underpinned by elegant geometric and topological mechanisms; a focus of the lab’s research is to seek and unravel the presence of these powerful interpretative keys. “I am humbled and grateful to be among the first recipients of this prestigious award which recognizes mid-career work, and am excited to dive into new directions, starti...
