- Distinguished grads awarded Justine Lambert Prize
The Justine Lambert Prize is awarded every other year to the best paper submitted
by a graduate student dealing with "foundational issues in the formal, natural or
social sciences, using tools, methods and results from scientific practice to cast
light on the conceptual, philosophical, and scientific relevance of those issues.”
The Lambert Prize competition is open to all graduate students at the University of
California, Irvine—regardless of department or school affiliation—and is made possible
by J. Karel Lambert.
This year the prize has been awarded to two outstanding paper entries: Li Xiao from
the departments of biomedical engineering and molecular biology/biochemistry whose
paper was titled “A Multi-Scale Method for Dynamics Simulation in Continuum Solvent
Models I: Finite-Difference Algorithm for Navier-Stokes Equation,” and the chemistry
department’s Keun Ah Ryu, for her paper “Stimulation of Innate Immune Cells by Light-Activated
TLR7/8 Agonists.”
The winners will be recognized on Friday, May 29 at 11 a.m. in an award ceremony featuring
UCI emeritus professor J. Karel Lambert, former social sciences dean William Schonfeld,
and LPS Distinguished professor Brian Skyrms. The winners will each receive $1,000
of a $2,000 prize.
