“I feel honored and inspired to have received this award, knowing that many great scientists who go on to field-changing work were once Sloan Research Fellows,” said Wright.

Passionate to broaden interest in geosciences, Wright founded URGE (Unlearning Racism in Geoscience), to address the impact of racism on the participation & retention of people of color in the field. urgeoscience.org

Wright is also part of a group of scientists focused on “soft earth geophysics," focused on the intersection of geophysics, physics & material science. stripplelab.ucsd.edu @scrippsocean.bsky.social

Congrats to Vashan Wright, one of 126 early-career researchers selected to receive the 2025 Sloan Research Fellowship. As leader of the Scripps Tectonorockphysics Lab, Wright analyzes sediments & rocks from oceans, lakes, rivers & beaches to reveal the granular physics behind geologic processes.
