American Physical Society Announces 2017 Fellows

COLLEGE PARK, MD, October 12, 2017 — The American Physical Society (APS) has selected the Society's 2017 Fellows.

The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. They may also have made significant contributions to the teaching of physics or service and participation in the activities of the Society.

Each year, no more than one half of one percent of the Society membership is recognized by their peers for election to the status of Fellow in the American Physical Society.
