Columbia Quantum Initiative Research

Xavier Roy will use Brown Investigator Award to create “frustrated materials” with unique quantum properties.

This small-grants program was designed to support Schools’ diversity plans, by advancing the career success of outstanding junior faculty who contribute to the diversity goals of the University by their research, teaching, and mentoring activities. 

These faculty are within the first five years of their academic careers, have each created an outstanding independent body of scholarship, and are deeply committed to education. Each Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar receives an unrestricted research grant of $100,000.
