Laura Lewis, a Boston University biomedical engineer who studies sleep, and Alina Ene, a BU computer scientist working to develop optimal computer algorithms, have each been awarded a 2021 Sloan Research Fellowship, one of the most prestigious awards for early-career scientists. They are two of 126 fellows chosen this year, and each will receive a two-year, $75,000 fellowship to advance their research. The Brink talked with Ene and Lewis to find out what they hope to accomplish with the support of the award.
