Yao Yang received a Postdoc Award from the Microanalysis Society at the 2022 Microscopy & Microanalysis Conference in 2022 in Portland, Oregon. The research that Yao presented was “Determining the 3D Atomic Structure of Metallic Glass.”
Dr. Colum O’Leary received a poster award at the annual Molecular Foundry User Meeting at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Colum’s poster was titled, “Visualizing embedded interfaces on the nanoscale via multislice electron ptychography”.
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Jessica C. Ramella-Roman, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Florida International University to its College of Fellows. Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biological engineer. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and biological engineering or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering education.” Dr. Ramella-Roman was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows “for outstanding contributions to the fields of biomedical optics and biophotonics.”
Professor Naomi Ginsberg has been named Laird Lecturer at the University of British Columbia. The Laird Lecturer brings to the general public some of the excitement that leading physicists from all over the world have as they understand fundamentals and apply their special talents to solving many of today’s scientific and technological problems. Congratulations, Naomi!

Stephanie Hart has been awarded the Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship for her project titled, “Nanoscale imaging of ultrafast energy flow in photosynthetic architectures.” The Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemical Sciences or Chemical Instrumentation Award Program supports advanced research by postdoctoral scholars within the core areas of fundamental chemistry or the development and build of chemical instrumentation. Congratulations, Stephanie!
Eric and Wendy Schmidt have announced the Schmidt Science Fellows for 2023. This year’s cohort of 32 Fellows are all recent PhD’s who’ve been identified as some of the most outstanding early-career scientists in the world.
The Schmidt Science Fellows was the first program supported by Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative co-founded by former Google CEO and Chairman Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy, President of the Schmidt Family Foundation. The current class is the sixth cohort in the program, which is fully funded by Schmidt Futures and delivered in a partnership with the Rhodes Trust.
Considered one of the most prestigious scientific postdoctoral awards in the world, Schmidt Science Fellows are awarded support for either one or two years in a field of study that pivots from their Ph.D concentration. In addition to an annual stipend of $100,000, they receive individualized mentoring and participation in the program’s Global Meeting Series, which provides training, introductions to new concepts, visits to leading interdisciplinary scientific centers, and opportunities to engage with thought-leaders from science, business, policy, and society.
Congrats to Prof. Gordana Dukovic, who was named as one of the 2023 Guggenheim Fellows! The fellowship is a highly competitive award available to mid-career Americans and Canadians who have “demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional ability in the arts and exhibit great promise for their future endeavors.” Prof. Dukovic is the only awardee in the field of chemistry this year.
