Juliet Gopinath of ECEE and MSE has received a CAREER award, the National Science Foundation's most prestigious award for junior faculty.
Gopinath will use her award to study the relationship between orbital angular momentum and rotating objects. "The results from the research will be far-reaching, with information about orbital angular momentum modal content essential for free-space communications and endoscopic super-resolution imaging (STED) for protein-level imaging in the human body," she wrote in her proposal.
