The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has named University of Virginia chemist Huiyuan Zhu and physicist Peter Schauss as Sloan Research Fellows for 2023. An assistant professor with the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, Zhu is a leader in the search for clean energy technology and the third member of the College’s Department of Chemistry to be named a Sloan Research Fellow in the last three years, and Schauss’s pioneering work with quantum gas microscopes has been widely credited with advancing the techniques used to study and manipulate atomic realms in ultra-cold quantum gases.
