The Kennedy Reed award was created by the APS (CA section) to recognize his contributions to outreach. Kennedy has previously won the APS Wheatley Prize
Hope Ishii was selected by Science Spectrum Magazine as a 2006 Science Spectrum trailblazer, for making “a significant, quantifiable personal impact on the industry and their communities”
Congratulations to our two newest APS Fellows, John Moriarty and Carlos Iglesias.
John Moriarty, For pioneering contributions to the first-principles quant-um-based calculation of inter-atomic forces in d- and f-electron materials, with major impact on high-pressure physics, multiscale modeling and national security
Carlos Iglesias, For ground-breaking contributions to the study of the production and transport of radiation in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, including particularly the development of the OPAL opacity code.
Our scientists were involved in three of the American Institute of Physics Top Physics Stories of 2005
