IRG 1 faculty member, Dr. Slava Rotkin has revived the prestigious Fulbright Scholar Award to travel to India for the 2024-25 year.

The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is the U.S. government's flagship international educational exchange program. Through the program, Penn State faculty members, staff and administrators have opportunities to conduct advanced research, teach or do both, as well as attend seminars, abroad. The program also affords recipients the opportunity to interact with, and make an impact on, their host communities during their Fulbright tenure. 

Ray Schaak, DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry in the Penn State Eberly College of Science and professor of chemical engineering, has been awarded the 2025 F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society (ACS). The award recognizes outstanding achievements in synthetic inorganic chemistry. Schaak will be presented with the award at the Spring 2025 ACS meeting in San Diego.

A recent publication in Applied Physics Letters by R. Jackson Spurling et. al. showcases the work of IRG 2 as both a Feature Article and the cover art for this week's issue.
