Professor Benny Davidovitch has been named one of seventeen 2014 Simons Fellows in theoretical physics. The prestigious fellowship enables Benny to extend his sabbatical leave at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Nikolay Prokof’ev and Boris Svistunov have been awarded a prestigious award (1.67 M$ over 10 years) from the Simons Foundation.
The Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem brings together a group of scientists focused on developing new ways to solve the quantum mechanical behavior of systems comprised of many interacting electrons, with the goal of revolutionizing our ability to calculate and understand the properties of molecules and solids important in chemistry, physics and everyday life.
Christian Santangelo and three collaborators have been awarded a $2M four-year grant from the National Science Foundation under the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) Origami Design for Integration of Self-assembling Systems for Engineering Innovation (ODISSEI) program. They plan to develop tools to fabricate polymer sheets that spontaneously fold into origami structures and study their mechanics.
Prof. Chris Santangelo was quoted in an article on “Extreme Mechanics” appearing in Nature magazine and Scientific American.
