Qiong Ma was named CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar (2022-2024 cohort). The CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars is a unique program that provides $100,000 in unrestricted research support, in addition to mentorship, global networking, and professional skills development. It is a great honor to join the new CIFAR global scholar cohort. We are grouped together to tackle global challenges, such as energy shortage and climate change, using multi-disciplinary approaches. Particularly, the quantum material program consists of a group of highly-accomplished scientists in my field. We are privileged to join them.
