Three MIT researchers, representing the departments of Physics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), are among 31 scientists and engineers nationwide who have been awarded three-year, $450,000 research grants by the U.S. Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). Selected from a pool of more than 290 proposals, the three MIT grant winners are Riccardo Comin, an assistant professor of physics; Phillip “Donnie” Keathley, a research scientist in the RLE’s Quantum Nanostructures and Nanofabrication group; and Luqiao Lui, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science and an RLE principal investigator. Awarded by the AFOSR’s Young Investigator Research Program, the grants are intended to foster creative basic research in science and engineering, and support early career development of outstanding young investigators who show exceptional ability and promise for meeting the challenges of science and engineering research related to the Air Force's mission. Riccardo Comin is an experimental condensed...
