UCLA Chemist Soumitra Athavale Wins 2026 Packard Fellowship

Original: Soumitra Athavale awarded 2026 Packard Fellowship

Soumitra Athavale, a chemistry researcher at UCLA, has been awarded a 2026 Packard Fellowship, one of the most competitive awards for early-career scientists in the United States. The fellowship provides substantial unrestricted funding to support innovative research, and Athavale is among a small group of recipients selected nationally this year.

Why now: Packard Fellowships are highly prestigious and rarely awarded, so the announcement of a new fellow draws attention in the scientific community.
