Prof. Schoelkopf receives $650,000 as Packard Fellow

 

Prof. Robert Schoelkopf, Applied Physics and Physics, has been
chosen from among 100 contenders to be one of twenty four
Packard Fellows for 2000 and will receive $650,000 over five years.

 

The David and Lucile Packard Foundation's Packard Fellowships
for Science and Engineering are awarded "to the nation's
most promising young professors so that they may pursue
their science and engineering research with few funding
restrictions and limited paperwork."

 

Prof. Schoelkopf will investigate quantum coherence, entanglement,
and the measurement process on nanoelectronic devices
using high-speed and high-sensitivity measurement.

 

Now our Department of Applied Physics boasts two Packard
Fellows; Prof. Robert Grober was named a Packard Fellow in 1997.
