Good news! My Johns Hopkins colleague David Kaplan and I have been selected as 2023 Simons Investigators in Physics. Here is the official Johns Hopkins announcement. Congratulations to all of my colleagues in Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics and Computer Science who have been selected this year.
From the Simons Investigators webpage:
Simons Investigators are outstanding theoretical scientists who receive a stable base of research support from the foundation, enabling them to undertake the long-term study of fundamental questions.
The intent of the Simons Investigators in Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics and Computer Science programs is to support outstanding theoretical scientists in their most productive years, when they are establishing creative new research directions, providing leadership to the field and effectively mentoring junior scientists. A Simons Investigator is appointed for an initial period of five years. Renewal for an additional five years is contingent upon the evaluation of scientific impact of the Investigator.
