IDEALS Fellow, Richard Monge, Receives National Science Foundation Ascend Postdoctoral Fellowship

The purpose of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (MPS-Ascend) program is to support postdoctoral Fellows who will broaden the participation of members of groups that are historically excluded and currently underrepresented in MPS fields in the United States. The program is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential and provide them with experience in research that will broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and help broaden participation within MPS fields. The program funds postdoctoral Fellows in research environments that will have maximal impact on their future scientific development and facilitates their transition into a faculty appointment.

Richard's project is, "Controlling the spin and charge of color centers in diamond under cryogenic conditions." Congratulations, Richard!
