Early Career Research Program is in its fourth year. This year’s award
winners were selected from a pool of about 770 applicants. Because of
this recognition, he was portrayed on the Boulder Daily Camera together with COSI fellow and advisee Angel Martinez.05/31/2013 Professor Henry Kapteyn elected member of the US National Academy of Sciences. Professor
Kapteyn, from JILA and CU's Physics Department, has been elected member
of the US National Academy of Sciences. An active participant in the
COSI-IGERT since the beginning of the program, Prof. Kapteyn has been
the advisor of many students in the program. He was one of the first
faculty to present his research in the COSI Seminars (see video of his
presentation here). See the official announcement on the NAS website. Prof. Tom Cathey, Jr. recognized with the Joseph Fraunhofer Award/Robert M. Burley Prize. The
Joseph Fraunhofer Award/Robert M. Burley Prize recognizes significant
research accomplishments in the field of optical engineering. The 2013
edition of the award is presented to W. Thomas Cathey for seminal
contributions to the field of computational optical imaging and its
commercial application. Read here the official OSA news release. 4/15/2013 COSI@CU can now be also followed on Google+. Now the latest news can also be found in Google+, just follow COSICUB (https://plus.google.com/100315983731120896120/posts) and you will receive the latest information related to the program. New edition of The COSI@CU Newsletter is now available. The
