FSU recognizes Distinguished University Scholar Award winners
Florida State University has awarded two outstanding scientists with the Distinguished University Scholar Award in recognition of their long-standing track records of research.
“Our specialized faculty lead major programs, train the next generation of scholars and provide a level of expertise that is often difficult to find,” said Vice President for Research Stacey S. Patterson. “Their hard work and diligence are a big part of FSU’s success. It’s an honor to recognize their contributions with the Distinguished University Scholar Award.”
Recipients received a one-time award of $10,000 and are entitled to use the title Distinguished University Scholar throughout their employment at FSU. The award specifically recognizes non-tenure track faculty members who are solely dedicated to either teaching or research activities.
This year’s recipients are:
Xiaobiao Xu, Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies
Xiaobiao Xu is a senior research scientist at the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies who used high-resolution numerical models to understand large-scale ocean circulation and its effect on the climate. He has received funding from a variety of sources including the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Office of Naval Research. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Miami in 2006 and joined Florida State University in 2012.
Jan Jaroszynski, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Jan Jarosynski holds the rank of Research Faculty III at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Jarosynski is an accomplished researcher in the areas of condensed matter physics, material science and scientific instrumentation development. In particular, he invented a high torque magnetometer that is used by scientists to characterize and understand the behavior of a type of conductor in high-magnetic fields across a wide range of temperatures and angles. He received his doctorate in physics from the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and joined the MagLab in 2000.
