A highly interdisciplinary program with unparalleled flexibility,
preparing the next generation of scientists for impactful careers
in research and beyond.
Annalisa Bracco, Taka Ito, and Chris Reinhard from the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences will create computer models to measure how well CO2 removal techniques work on land, rivers, and oceans, as part of $264 million in grants.
The new technique can be used to study the dynamics of other biomolecules, breaking free of constraints that have limited microscopy to still images of fixed molecules.
School of Psychology Professor Randall W. Engle has been honored by the Association for Psychological Science with the William James Fellow Award for his lifetime of significant contributions to the field of scientific psychology.
Professor Joel E. Kostka has been named a Union Fellow by the American Geophysical Union, joining a slate of 53 international researchers selected as 2024 AGU Fellows for “significant contributions to the Earth and space sciences.”
Understanding and predicting self-organization, especially in systems that are out of equilibrium, like living things, is an enduring goal of statistical physics.
