Last month, five Fermilab scientists were named fellows of the American Physical Society, a distinction awarded each year to no more than one-half of 1 percent of current APS members by their peers.
Bogdan Dobrescu and Boaz Klima were named 2013 fellows to the Division of Particles and Fields. Nickolay Gnedin was named a fellow to the Division of Astrophysics. Shekhar Mishra and Eric Prebys were named fellows to the Forum on International Physics.
 |
| Bogdan Dobrescu |
|
For original and influential extensions of the Standard Model involving extra dimensions and new gauge dynamics, and for leadership in bridging the gap between new theoretical ideas and experimental tests. |
 |
| Nickolay Gnedin |
|
For pioneering work in computational cosmology, which has led to a deep understanding of the Lyman alpha forest and reionization of the universe. |
 |
| Boaz Klima |
|
For significant contributions to hadron collider physics community and leadership, especially in the discovery of the top quark. |
 |
| Shekhar Mishra |
|
For exceptional achievement in the creation and stewardship of international collaborations in accelerator and particle physics, especially in the Indian-American Agreement for Cooperation in the Area of Accelerator and Particle Detector Research and Development for Discovery Science. |
 |
| Eric Prebys |
|
For his important contributions to the physics of beams and his exceptional efforts to shape the U.S.-CERN collaboration, enabling successful physics programs at the LHC and charting a course for U.S. involvement in future LHC upgrades. |
