Congratulations to Marija Vucelja who has been granted an NSF CAREER Award based on her proposal, “Anomalous Thermal Relaxation of Physical Systems.”  The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program offers the NSF’s most prestigious awards in support of the early career-development activities of teacher-scholars who most effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their institution. This is well-deserved recognition of the quality of Marija’s previous work and her compelling plans for future research.
