Three UW-Madison professors have been awarded the prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship, according to a university news release.
The three UW-Madison 2016 fellows are Etienne Garand, Ari Rosenberg and Lu Wang. Sloan Research Fellowships are awards given to young researchers at the beginning of their careers.
Paul L. Joskow, the president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, says the fellows represent “the best-of-the-best among young scientists.”
“The Sloan Research Fellowships have become an unmistakable marker of quality among researchers,” Joskow said in the release.
Garand is an assistant professor of chemistry who studies the inner workings of chemical reactions.
As an assistant professor of neuroscience, Rosenberg studies the neural basis of autism and how the human brain melds information from different senses.
Wang is an assistant professor of mathematics whose focus is on geometric analysis and geometric partial differential equations.
A total of 126 fellows were named this year, according to a Sloan Foundation press release.
