Editor's note:
PI Oleg Gang won the Vannevar Bush Fellowship, the Department of Defense (DoD)'s flagship single-investigator award for basic research.
This fellowship will enable Gang to develop experimental platforms and algorithms for material evolution processes. The research aims to improve the performance of enzymatic nano-reactors, mechanical metamaterials, and nanomaterials for diverse optical applications.
For the fiscal year 2024 competition, the department received 170 white papers, from which panels of experts invited 27 proposals, for a final recommendation of 11 fellows. Each fellow will receive up to $3 million over a five-year fellowship term to pursue cutting-edge fundamental research projects.
