Dr. Yates Receives Hellman Award
By Liza Shevchuk
Assistant Professor Jacob Yates has received an award from the Society of Hellman Fellows Fund in support of his research proposal: Active Sensing Reveals a Precise Visual Brain. Congratulations, Dr. Yates!
The Society of Hellman Fellows Fund supports early career faculty who have shown evidence of their promise for distinction in research. The Fund was created by a generous gift from the late F. Warren Hellman, a distinguished alumnus and friend of Berkeley, and his late wife Chris Hellman. Their children later expanded the program at Berkeley by creating an endowment and inviting other donors to participate, establishing the Society of Hellman Fellows.
