2017 Foresight Institute Distinguished Student AwardWinner of 2017 Award AnnouncedDartmouth PhD Student, Hai Qian, wins the Distinguished Student Award![]() The Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Prize is awarded each year to the college undergraduate or graduate student whose work in nanotechnology is considered most notable in advancing the development and understanding of nanotechnology. This prize is generously supported by Dr. James Ellenbogen, Ravi Pandya, and James Von Ehr, II. The Foresight Institute has announced that the winner of the 2017 Distinguished Student Award is Hai Qian, a PhD student in Professor Ivan Aprahamian’s Lab at the Department of Chemistry at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. Hai has been developing hydrazone-based fluorophores and photochromic compounds. To date, this research effort has led to 7 publications in leading peer reviewed journals. Hai was the main instigator behind the development of these new systems, and so has contributed to the expansion of the toolbox available to the field of molecular switches and machines. Mr. Qian is currently working on using two-photon absorption to develop high density storage devices built in single crystals. This feat is possible because of the unique solid state emission switching capability these switches exhibit. 2017 Distinguished Student Award and 2017 Feynman Prizes were awarded at the Atomic Precision For Healthspan And Longevity workshop![]() The 2017 Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes in two categories, Theory and Experiment, and the 2017 Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Award were presented Sept. 16, 2017, at the awards banquet at the Atomic Precision For Healthspan And Longevity workshop.
