Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology The
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign offers a variety of fellowship programs.
Beckman Graduate Fellowships Beckman Graduate Fellowships are awarded to students at the University of Illinois who are working at the master's or doctorate level. Students propose interdisciplinary research projects involving at least two University of Illinois faculty members, at least one of whom is associated with the Beckman Institute. The award provides funding at the level of a 50% Graduate Research Assistantship for eleven months. • 2023 Beckman Institute Graduate Fellows Siti Fauziyah Alexander Fliflet Michael Pence Chelsea Swartchick Gang Xiao Shensheng Zhao • 2022 Beckman Institute Graduate Fellows Sohaila Aboutaleb Megan Finnegan Zhengchang Kou Jialu Li Defne Gorgun Ozgulbas Yunyan Sun Zepeng Wang • 2021 Beckman Institute Graduate Fellows Evan Anderson Elizabeth Bello Bashar Emon Rong "Ronny" Guo Nil Parikh Amanda Weiss Yuxuan "Richard" Xie
Beckman Postdoctoral Fellows Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded to recent Ph.D.'s who receive 3-year appointments at the Beckman Institute, including both a stipend and a research budget. They must be doing interdisciplinary research in an area of research relevant to the Beckman Institute. The first Beckman postdoctoral fellows were Efrat Shimshoni (condensed matter physics) and Andrew Nobel (information theory and statistics) in 1992. The following researchers are or have been Beckman Postdoctoral Fellows. The institution listed is the one from which the person had received a Ph.D. Fellowships were awarded as of the year listed.
Beckman Senior Fellows Beckman Senior Fellowships are awarded to senior faculty from other institutions, who come to the University of Illinois to collaborate with researchers there, usually for a short period of three to six months. Beckman Senior Fellows include: (
University of Pittsburgh, 2013–2014) • Lisa Frank (
University of Wisconsin at Madison, 2012–2013) • Jong Chul Ye (
KAIST, 2012–2013) • Nadja Schott (Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen, Germany, 2007) • Dimitris C. Lagoudas (Texas Institute for Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles, 2006) •

Center for Advanced Study (CAS) In addition to the Beckman Fellowships administered through the
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation supports additional programs through the
Center for Advanced Study (CAS) at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The CAS awards a series of
Beckman Fellowships and
Beckman Research Awards which support faculty at Urbana-Champaign in their research activities. These awards were funded through an endowment from Arnold and Mabel Beckman, given in the late 1970s, prior to the establishment of the Beckman Institute. They are administered separately and are awarded in departments throughout the university, not just within the sciences. The Center for Advanced Study (CAS) has awarded Beckman Fellowships to the following
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign faculty members, with their home department and Fellowship award year shown. == Stanford University ==
