Jose Carmena, UC Berkeley Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and member of the Bioengineering Graduate Group, was honored with a Sloan Fellowship for early career scientists.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation awarded 118 new fellowships in support of original research and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and economic performance, seven of them to young faculty researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.

Each Sloan fellow receives $50,000 to pursue whatever research he or she chooses for a period of two years. The Sloan Research Fellowships support the work of exceptional young researchers early in their academic careers, and often at pivotal stages in their work.
