Research, teaching and public engagement in Physics at UW–Madison
Professor Tiancheng Song has been selected for an Early Career Research Program (ECRP) award by the U.S. Department of Energy. Established in 2010, this prestigious program aims to support outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulate cutting-edge research. This award will fund the Song Lab’s work on exploring novel superconductors based on two-dimensional (2D) …
When he was younger, UW–Madison assistant professor of physics Josiah Sinclair wanted to be a scientist-inventor when he grew up. In high school, he would ask questions in biology and chemistry classes that his teachers said were really physics questions. So, when he began his undergrad at Calvin University, he majored in physics, believing that …
Congratulations to Prof. Deniz Yavuz, who was elected a 2025 Fellow of the American Physical Society! He was elected “for outstanding experimental and theoretical contributions to nanoscale localization of atoms with electromagnetically induced transparency and collective radiation effects in atomic ensembles,” and nominated by the Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics (DAMOP). APS Fellowship …
Congrats to Roman Kuzmin, the Dunson Cheng Assistant Professor of Physics, for being selected for an NSF CAREER award. The 5-year award will support Kuzmin and his group’s research on understanding fluxonium qubits and how their properties can be used to simulate the collective behavior of quantum materials. Superconducting qubits are one promising technology for …
