The ONR program is designed to attract young scientists and engineers who show exceptional promise for outstanding research and teaching careers. Zwierlein was selected from a group of 211 applicants for the honor, which includes a three-year research grant worth up to $510,000.

Zwierlein’s work under the program will be on "Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases in Two Dimensions.”
