Dr. Jian Shen (back row, far left) has won a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. He was honored September 9, 2004, at an awards ceremony in Washington DC. The PECASE Awards, as they are known, are the nation's highest honor for professionals at the outset of their independent research careers. Established in 1996, the awards honor the most promising beginning researchers in the United States in their respective fields. Eight federal departments and agencies annually nominate scientists and engineers at the start of their careers whose work shows the greatest promise to benefit the nominating agency's mission. Participating agencies award these beginning scientists and engineers up to five years of funding to further their research in support of critical government missions. Dr. Shen has teamed up with Dr. Plummer's group on projects including Tailored Magnetic Nanostructures on Surfaces and Low Dimensional Magnetic Nanostructures.





Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
