A Columbia University undergraduate in Physics has been awarded the Churchill Fellowship, with provide funding and support for outstanding students pursuing one-year of graduate study in science, mathematics or engineering at the University of Cambridge. Administered by the Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States, the award is designed to recognize students with the demonstrated capacity to advance the evolution of these fields of study.
The recent edition of Nature (volume 613) included a breakthrough discovery by Columbia Grad student Apoorv Jindal (first author), Professors Cory Dean, Abhay Pasupathy, and collaborators.
Learn more about this outstanding detection, explored in the article “Coupled ferroelectricity and superconductivity in bilayer Td-MoTe2”, in an in-depth overview by the Columbia Quantum Initiative.
Columbia Physics continues to be a trailblazing force in the field of Cosmology with the announcement that a team led by Physics PhD student Sam Goldstein was named the 1st place winner of the 2022 Buchalter Cosmology Prize. The award-winning research also included contributions from Columbia Post-Doc Oliver Philcox, Professor Lam Hui, Assistant Professor Colin Hill, former Columbia PhD student Angelo Esposito and former Columbia PhD student Max Abitbol.
To a lecture hall of 100 students, faculty, staff, and visitors, the Columbia University Department of Physics successfully launched the 1st Annual Chien-Shiung (C.S.) Wu Memorial Lecture, drawing outstanding reviews for distinguished speaker Dr. Elena Aprile.
This special honorary colloquium was held in honor of C.S. Wu, a distinguished particle and experimental physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and taught and conducted research at Columbia University.
Kerstin Perez joined Columbia from MIT this summer, and is using cutting-edge techniques to identify the particle nature of dark matter.
