Selvan Demir, an assistant professor of chemistry at Michigan State University, is a recipient of a 2025 research fellowship by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The two-year $75,000 fellowships are awarded annually to early-career researchers whose creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments make them stand out as the next generation of leaders.

"The Sloan Research Fellows represent the very best of early-career science, embodying the creativity, ambition, and rigor that drive discovery forward,” says Adam F. Falk, president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. “These extraordinary scholars are already making significant contributions, and we are confident they will shape the future of their fields in remarkable ways.” 

“I am very excited and deeply honored to be named a 2025 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow,” Demir said.
