The National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF for short) or The Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship program, is sponsored by the Basic Research Office, Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. This Fellowship provides long-term financial support to distinguished university faculty and staff scientists and engineers to conduct basic research. The program favors research that may lead to groundbreaking ideas that can revolutionize an entire discipline. Stephen Leone has been awarded as a fellow to the NSSEFF in 2010. His research that was proposed consists of electron dynamics in solids that utilize newly developed attosecond laser techniques. As of now, the ability to witness the movement of electrons within solids is not possible. However, with these new techniques it may be possible to witness such movements, which could further the understanding of electron density transformations among molecular orbitals and other interactions. Professor Leone will study these behaviors primarily in solar cells, lasers, high-speed electronics, and plasmonic devices in the hopes that these materials will become better understood and efficient.1 The American Chemical Society Nobel Laureate Signature Award for Graduate Education in Chemistry is designed to recognize and encourage research in pure chemistry in young men and women throughout North America. Steven Leone was given a $5000 award and certificate along with a travel expense of up to $1000 to go retrieve it at the national convention in 1982. This award is funded through Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity. In order to be eligible for this award, the nominee must have fewer than 10 years of experience since his/her terminal degree and must have accomplished research of unusual merit.2 The Milton Kahn Annual Lectureship award was founded in honor of Professor Milton Kahn through contributions from his family and friends. Professor Kahn joined the University of New Mexico in 1948 and was known for his contributions in radiochemistry. Stephen Leone is a recipient of the Miltin Kahn Annual Lectureship in 2016. This award is given to those who tend to be prominent leaders in physical chemistry or radiochemistry. In this case, Professor Leone was given this award for his research in attosecond dynamics based off his journal, “Attosecond Dynamics: From Molecules to Semiconductor Solids.” 3

Peer Review, by Daniel Krasiev-Dvornikov You did well in describing the establishment of the various chemistry programs such as the NSSEFF and their purposes, as well as putting into context the awards Stephen Leone has received from the programs. You also did well in explaining why the research Stephen Leone has received awards for is important and ground-breaking. Your paragraph could be organized a little better, such as separating the paragraph into sections focusing on each award and its corresponding research topic. Finally, try avoiding talking about the future with absolute certainty such as when you write "Professor Leone will study these behaviors primarily in solar cells, lasers, high-speed electronics, and plasmonic devices..." Otherwise everything looks solid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielKrasiev (talk • contribs) 05:11, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
