Title: NIST Physicist Ian Spielman Wins Prestigious PECASE Award
Summary:
NIST physicist Ian B. Spielman has been awarded the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor given to early-career scientists and engineers in the United States. Spielman, a fellow at the NIST-University of Maryland Joint Quantum Institute, uses highly controlled ultracold atoms trapped in laser light crystals to create quantum materials. These materials help researchers better understand problems in solid-state physics. The PECASE award recognizes Spielman’s innovative work in quantum physics and his potential to make significant contributions to the field in the future.
