Two Columbia postdoctoral fellows, Arun Ramanathan and Victoria Quirós-Cordero, have been named to the inaugural cohort of the ACS-Moore Postdoctoral Bridge Award in Quantum Materials, a new program that provides bridge funding and professional development opportunities.
Ramanathan, who works with Columbia chemist Xavier Roy, will use his award to study fluctuation-driven multiferroicity in low-dimensional quantum materials. Quirós-Cordero, who works with Columbia chemist Milan Delor and mechanical engineer James Schuck, will use her award to study tunable van der Waals entangled-photon sources for integrated quantum light-matter interactions.
Funded through the Moore Foundation's Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems Initiative, each will receive up to $100,000, comprising a $95,000 annual stipend and $5,000 for travel and research support. Congratulations!
