This is the highest honor for mid-career faculty members at the University of Michigan.
  • Professor Deng is "recognized internationally for her research in quantum optics, nanostructures and physics. In 2017, she was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society for her pioneering contributions to fundamental physics and applications of matter-light coupled systems. In 2018, she was elected a fellow of the Optical Society of America."
  • Professor Jia’s discoveries "have had a profound impact on the field of planetary science. As a result of his work, the bulk of the water in the solar system is no longer thought to be sequestered in planet Earth. The new discoveries by Jia and colleagues have shown that most of the water in the solar system is in the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn’s moons, and in Uranus and Neptune. His pioneering research and international leadership have earned Jia leadership roles on NASA’s Europa Clipper and ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer missions."
