Associate Professor Ivan Smalyukh (Physics) has been chosen by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award in recognition of his accomplishments in research and teaching. The award honors “scientists and scholars, internationally renowned in their field, who completed their doctorates less than 18 years ago and who in future are expected to continue producing cutting-edge achievements which will have a seminal influence on their discipline beyond their immediate field of work.” He is one of only eleven Bessel Award scholars chosen in the United States this year.
