The Assistant Professor Alicia Kollár won the prize for her outstanding performances and huge contribution in her field of discipline: physics, one of the seven field of studies on which the prize is awarded.
Sloan Research Fellowship was established in 1955 and it is design to encourage and to support with prize in form of grants, early career scholars and scientists who are outstanding today and show promising future, capable of revolutionise their field of studies.
In addition to being an early career scientist and scholar, a prospective fellow must be a PhD holder, a faculty member from one of the universities in United States and Canada and whose area of expertise and research interests are in one of Physics, Chemistry, Earth System Science, Economics, Neuroscience, Mathematics and Computer Science.
Alicia Kollбr was one of the three (3) faculty members from University of Maryland, College Park who were the recipients of this year (2022) fellowship and one of the 118 early career scientists picked from about fifty universities from US and Canada.
University of Maryland, College Park have produced four (4) winners of this prestigious award so far, having produced their first ever fellow in person of Tamбs Darvas an Assistant Professor of Mathematics in 2021.
Kollбr whose research interests are in the field of Superconducting Circuits; Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics; Condensed Matter Experiment; Quantum Science and Technology is expected to channel her won $75,000 grant on nothing other than a research project within a two-year period.
Professor Alicia Kollár received her PhD from Stanford University in 2016. Her doctoral research studies was on the design and development of a multimode cavity-BEC tools to study superradiant self-organisation.
She got her B.A. in Physics from Princeton University in 2010.
