Three researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have received National Science Foundation CAREER awards for their work developing molecules that facilitate pharmaceutical drug design and evaluation, designing phishing detectors, and developing new materials for quantum technology.
Joseph Clark, Doowon Kim, and Joon Sue Lee join the NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program this year. NSF created CAREER to recognize and support early-career faculty who can serve as role models in their institutions while advancing research that benefits their state and the nation.
“We are incredibly proud of this year’s recipients,” said Deb Crawford, vice chancellor for research, innovation, and economic development. “Their efforts will lead to groundbreaking discoveries and inspire students at all levels to experience the excitement and fulfillment of scientific exploration. Their work has significant state and national impact.”
