Fellows spend 10 weeks (beginning in early June and ending mid-August) pursuing individual

and fragment screening for the discovery of antibiotics. Weiwei Xie’s group has discovered several new superconductors as part of their research into novel quantum materials, and Tuo Wang’s work in the area of solid-state NMR is providing new insights into fungal cell wall structure. Our recent recipients of DOE and NSF Early CAREER Awards (Kenneth Lopata, Daniel Kuroda, and Revati Kumar) are involved respectively in theoretical work on attosecond dynamics, experimental studies of two-dimensional
