| Professor Qimiao Si works in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics. His major contributions have been in the area of strongly correlated electron systems, including magnetic heavy fermion metals, high temperature superconductors, and mesoscopic and disordered electronic systems. He is particularly well known for his theory of quantum criticality.
Professor Si was named a Sloan Research Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 1996, and received a Cottrell Scholar Award from the Research Corporation in 1998. He is a Fellow of the U.K.'s Institute of Physics (since 2004) and a Fellow of the American Physical Society (since 2005). He has published more than 70 scientific articles and has given over 140 invited talks on his research. He serves on the Advisory Editorial Board of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. He will be organizing the 2007 International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems, the 16th of a flagship annual conference series in this area, in Houston. Professor Doug Natelson is a condensed matter experimentalist, with research interests largely focused on electronic and magnetic investigations of nanostructured systems. Research efforts in his lab include quantum effects in metal and semiconductor nanostructures, organic semiconductor devices, and single-molecule electronics. Professor Natelson received the Research Corporation's Research Innovation Award in 2001, was awarded a Packard Fellowship in 2003, and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation research fellowship and an NSF CAREER award the following year. He has published more than 30 scientific articles, and has given more than 50 invited presentations of his research. |
