Five Berkeley Lab Scientists Awarded DOE Early Career Research Grants for Innovative Projects
Five scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have received Early Career Research Program awards from the Department of Energy. The program supports exceptional researchers at the start of their careers. Berkeley Lab recipients will focus on advancements in particle detection, geothermal energy systems, and neutrino research. Funding for higher education institutions is approximately $875,000 over five years, while DOE national laboratories may receive about $2,750,000.

The Department of Energy awarded Early Career Research Program grants to five scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Awardees include Timon Heim, who will develop a 4D tracking detector for particle collisions, enhancing precision in high-energy physics experiments.
Harrison Lisabeth aims to improve geothermal energy systems by studying subsurface stresses using AI and lab simulations. Callum Wilkinson will enhance data analysis for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment using machine learning techniques to better understand neutrino properties. Awards are approximately $875,000 for educational institutions and $2,750,000 for national laboratories over five years.
