Quantum scientist Dr. Roberta Sessoli gives seminar at UCI EQI supported a seminar at UCI by the world famous quantum scientist, Dr. Roberta Sessoli, of the University of Florence, who discovered the first molecular single-molecule magnet as a graduate student.

Rare Earth and Quantum Science Chemistry Summer School Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 25-26, 2022 Have you ever wondered what underlies the chemistry of your smart phones or speakers? What about the chemistry of renewable energy technologies, such as those found in electric cars or wind-turbines? How could small molecules be used to generate stable imaging agents, sensors, or catalysts that can enable applications in medicine and the chemical industry?  Perhaps you’re curious about emerging...

The Eddleman Quantum Institute (EQI) has awarded 6 graduate research fellowships (GRF) for 2022-2023. These fellowships exist thanks to the generous support from philanthropist Roy Eddleman. The EQI stimulates the discovery of new quantum science phenomena through interdisciplinary collaborations in a broad range of scientific endeavors and motivates future generations to study quantum science through education and outreach activities. The 2022- 2023 EQI GRF recipients are:Hana Schiff (Romhanyi’s...

Summer research fellowships are available for UCI undergraduate students under QUROP.  The program is aimed at students with some prior research experience who plan to continue an intensive, faculty mentored research experience in quantum science over the summer. The fellowships are typically for 10 weeks, with a commitment of 20 hours per week. However, the total time commitment is flexible and should be appropriate for the proposed project. The award amounts are flexible and dependent on...

Funds will support student learning and research in quantum science Irvine, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 – The University of California, Irvine has established a new graduate fellowship to benefit students pursuing advanced degrees in quantum science. The program was made possible through a $1 million endowment from philanthropist Roy T. Eddleman and matching funds provided by UCI’s Graduate Division. Eddleman’s gift is a follow-on to the $1.5 million he donated to the university in 2020...
