Professors Zuzanna Siwy and Jenny Yang are now a Chancellor’s Professor and a Chancellor’s Fellow.

Dzyaloshinskii's name lives on in the contributions he made to condensed matter physics.

The fellowship provides an annual stipend of $34,000 as well as tuition support.  

The designation recognizes the role the Department of Physics & Astronomy plays in guiding students from underrepresented groups into academic careers.

Particle physicist was part of UCI neutrino physics group. 

The fellowship aims to bolster diversity in universities, and will support Long’s research on galaxies.

The Physics & Astronomy grad student will use the support to study lithium-ion batteries.

LePort once built a particle detector from scratch. Now he’s developing gene therapies for age-related diseases.
