APS Fellows Nominated by FIP 2019

We are pleased to recognize and congratulate five of our members who have recently been elected to APS Fellowship upon nomination by the FIP for their significant contributions to physics and the advancement of physics throughout the world.

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.

Michael Begel, Brookhaven National Laboratory
Citation: For international leadership in contributions toward a better understanding of jets and related physics in the ATLAS and DZero experiments, leading to advances in the trigger and data acquisition in the ATLAS upgrades.

Michael Markus Benedikt, CERN
Citation: For scientific leadership in the Future Circular Collider Study, and for promoting global collaboration in particle physics research to build the world’s largest international collider.

Luisa Cifarelli, University of Bologna
Citation: For leadership in high energy physics and tireless efforts to strengthen international collaboration in physics.

Cristiano Galbiati, Princeton University
Citation: For the measurement of Berillium-7 and pep solar neutrinos and for the development of the liquid argon technology for the background-free exploration of dark matter at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory.

Alan James Hurd, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Citation: For seminal advances in the physics of soft matter and applications of neutron scattering, and for advancing international science diplomacy.
