Industry Collaborations

Worley, a global provider of engineering, procurement and construction services, has joined Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership as a charter member of the corporate membership program of the Andlinger Center, with a desire to help move the world to carbon neutrality through its vision for sustainable projects and operations.

In an investigation that may inspire new ideas about the application of light on ultrafast timescales to study material characteristics, researchers in the Schoop Lab and the Scholes Group are reporting results that could provide evidence for a rare photo-induced phase transition in a topological semimetal.

Former advisee Dalcanton named to succeed Spergel at Flatiron Institute

David Spergel, emeritus professor of astronomy at Princeton and the former director of the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) at the Flatiron Institute, became president of the Simons Foundation on July 1. Simons Foundation co-founders Marilyn and Jim Simons selected Spergel for the role in December 2020. The Simons are now co-chairs of the Simons Foundation Board of Directors after stepping down from their day-to-day leadership roles.

Scientists from Princeton chemistry and computer science work with industry to create tool based on machine-learning 

In the past few years, the Doyle Lab has turned increasingly to data science techniques to assist problem-solving in organic synthesis. Researchers are driven partly by a year-old federal initiative that seeks to conjoin data science and chemistry, and partly by the notion that a chemist’s time is better spent exploring new reactions than optimizing them.
