Professor Tin-Lun (Jason) Ho, professor of physics, received a 2012 Simons Fellowship in Theoretical Physics for “Fundamental Issues in Degenerate Quantum Gases.”

The Fellowship will extend Ho's academic leave from one term to a full year, which will allow him to focus solely on research. Professor Ho is one of only 27 researchers to receive this funding in what is the Simon Foundation's inaugural year of awarding these grants.

The grants were announced in The New York Times Science Section on March 6, 2012.
