Congratulations to Florida State University's 2026 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award winners, all six of whom are from the FSU College of Arts & Sciences!

The award is one of the most prestigious honors available to early career faculty and supports those who serve as academic role models in research and education, leading advances in the mission of their department or organization.

▶️ Amy Webster (top left) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Biological Science, who studies how genetically identical individuals raised in the same environment, like twins, can still be different, informing our understanding of disease risk.

▶️ Douglas Storace (top right) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Biological Science and FSU Program in Neuroscience, who researches how the olfactory system, or sense of smell, influences decision making and our perception of the world around us.

▶️ Kai Zhao (middle right) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Computer Science, who designs high-performance computing systems that help researchers manage large amounts of data in experiments and theoretical predictions.

▶️ Michael Gubanov (bottom right) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Computer Science and FSU Data Science Program, who is developing a new type of AI to more accurately calculate and interpret numeric data, with applications in healthcare and cancer treatment.

▶️ Xiaonan Zhang (bottom left) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Computer Science, who designs frameworks that allow wireless devices to collaborate and execute complex AI applications, facilitating real-time decisions in fields like healthcare, transportation and emergency response.

▶️ Cyprian Lewandowski (middle left) is an assistant professor in the FSU Department of Physics, who analyzes quantum materials with the potential to enable transformative technologies, such as new quantum computing platforms or more advanced sensors.
