Chad Fertig, assistant professor of physics, won a 2006 Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from Oak Ridge Associated Universities.
Recipients of these unrestricted $5,000 research awards, which are matched by the home institution, were competitively selected from among 88 faculty applications. The peer-evaluation and selection process involved scientists from across the nation.
Fertig’s research interests lie in using ultra-cold atoms to study fundamental atomic and condensed matter physics.
