Shinsei Ryu selected for Sloan Research Fellowship
5/20/2014
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Shinsei Ryu, for his selelection for a Sloan Research Fellowship by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The two-year fellowships are awarded annually to 126 early-career scientists and scholars engaged in fundamental research, in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field.
In his recent work, Ryu is developing a classification table of topological phases in topological insulators and superconductors, including quantum spin Hall effect and three-dimensional time-reversal symmetry. Another theme he is currently working on includes the use of quantum entanglement, and in particular the entanglement entropy, to characterize and classify strongly interacting many-body systems and quantum field theories.
