Ni Ni, UCLA assistant professor of physics and astronomy, has received a 2014 Early Career Research Award from the U.S. Department of Energy for her proposal “Exploring Superconductivity at the Edge of Magnetic or Structural Instabilities. The Early Career Research Program aims to strengthen the nation’s scientific brainpower by supporting researchers during their early years, when many scientists accomplish their most formative work. It awards university-based researchers with at least $150,000 per year to cover summer salary and research expenses.
Ni joined the UCLA faculty in 2013 to help build new efforts in experimental condensed matter physics, with particular emphasis on the rapidly growing field of quantum materials.
