Andrej Singer will lead a three-year project funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science that will attempt to create new quantum states of matter. Investigators include Darrell Schlom, the Herbert Fisk Johnson Professor of Industrial Chemistry; Kyle Shen, professor of physics; Nicole Benedek, assistant professor of materials science and engineering; and John Harter, Ph.D. ’13, assistant professor of materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The group will receive about $2.73 million from the DOE for its research.
