The Anatoly Larkin Fellowship
was awarded to Roman M. Lutchyn and Tao Hu. The Larkin Fellowship is a new scholarship awarded to a physics graduate student whose advisor is a member of the Fine Theoretical Physics Institute. The fellowship was established in memory of Professor Anatoly Larkin and was endowed by a group of 43 donors made up of his former students and colleagues. It is worth noting that one 2007 recipients of the Larkin Fellowship, Roman Lutchyn, was one of Professor Larkin's last advisees.
Tao Hu
Tao Hu's primary area of research condensed matter theory, which he studies under Professor Boris Shklovskii at the Fine Theoretical Physics Institute. He is originally from China.
Roman M. Lutchyn
Lutchyn is a theoretical physicist whose research interests fall within the area of quantum condensed matter physics. In the past three years he has been working on the problems in mesoscopic superconductivity with possible application to solid state quantum information devices. In particular, he studied the fundamental limitations on the coherence time in superconducting quantum bits. Lutchyn recently moved to the University of Maryland to work as a postdoctoral research fellow.
