Sebastian Will receives NSF CAREER Award

Professor Sebastian Will has received a 2019 NSF CAREER award for the creation of a “Two-dimensional quantum fabric of ultracold dipolar molecules”. The five year grant for $780,000 supports the development of a novel experimental platform based on ultracold molecules at nanokelvin temperatures that will be assembled atom-by-atom from ultracold atoms. The platform will allow quantum simulation of complex many-body quantum systems and the exploration of fundamental organizing principles of matter in parameter regimes that were inaccessible so far.

The NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
