Stephen Y. Chou

Field: Electrical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990

Research Interests

ur research has two primary missions: 1) to develop new nanotechnologies for fabricating structures and devices substantially smaller than current technology permits; and 2) using cutting-edge nanofabrication technology, to explore innovative nanoscale electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic storage devices.

Yannis G. Kevrekidis

Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1988

Research Interests

y research focuses on the study of time-dependent behavior and pattern formation in physiochemical and engineering systems. The subjects range from bubble formation in fluidized bed reactors to surface pattern formation during heterogeneous catalytic reactions on metals--including the design and fabrication of novel composite and microstructured catalysts--to nonlinear signal processing, system identification and model reduction for modeling and control purposes.

Lyman A. Page, Jr.

Field: Physics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1994

Research Interests

e study how the temperature of the afterglow of the big bang varies from place to place on the sky. The patterns in this primordial radiation--like a fossil of the early universe--help us understand how structure in the universe formed. In addition, if a certain class of cosmological models proves correct, we will be able to determine the cosmological parameters.

Zoltan Szabo

Field: Mathematics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

oltan Szabo is researching the geometry of smooth manifolds. This work involves the study of smooth structures of 4-manifolds. Results to date point to what he describes as a surprising link between topology and theoretical physics.
