- Ignacio Franco, assistant professor of chemistry, who is investigating laser control of electrons at an ultrafast time scale and the properties of matter driven far from equilibrium.
- Dragony Fu, assistant professor of biology, who is exploring how a key group of enzymes act on RNA molecules to regulate how those molecules function in fundamental cellular processes.
- Douglas Kelley, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, who is studying how fluid dynamics affect the performance of liquid metal batteries.
- Nick Vamivakas, assistant professor of quantum optics and quantum physics, who is pursuing a transformative way to produce defect-based quantum dots in atomically thin semiconductors as a novel source of quantum light.
