Conference: Rice Spring School on Electron Correlation and Topology

This award is co-funded by the Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, and the Condensed Matter Physics programs of the Division of Materials Research. It will support the attendance of early-career researchers and students to the 2025 instance of the Rice Spring School on Electron Correlation and Topology. The school will bring together leading theorist and experimentalist experts in cutting-edge areas of condensed matter physics to present pedagogical lectures, which will provide graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with a comprehensive understanding of exciting developments and foster new insights into the frontiers of research in quantum materials. The school will also provide a platform for students and early-career researchers to take on active roles as organizers, lecturers, presenters, and panel discussion leaders. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
