award

Cristina Mantilla Suarez is the recipient of the Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Dissertation Award in Experimental Particle Physics by the American Physical Society.

Ihar Lobach, a former student in the Fermilab Accelerator Ph.D. Program, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2022 Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics Award. He was recognized for outstanding research contributions as well as for developing an experimental method.

A recipient of this year’s IEEE PAST Award, Romanenko was cited “for outstanding contributions to science and technology of radio frequency superconductivity for particle accelerators.”

The AAS award recognizes Kron’s contributions to the astronomy community through his leadership of sky surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer has received one of the highest honors handed out by the United Kingdom. In her New Year’s honors list, the Queen of England named Lockyer Officer of the Order of the British Empire, one of the highest ranks in the nation’s order of chivalry.

Nigel Lockyer has received this prestigious award from the DOE’s Office of Science in recognition of his outstanding achievement and service to the nation through eight years as the director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Five students have received the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award to conduct their research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey received the 2021 ACM SIGMOD Systems Award for its “early and influential demonstration of the power of data science to transform a scientific domain.” The award recognized the contributions of Fermilab’s Bill Boroski, Steve Kent and Brian Yanny, as well as several others, for work done from 2000 to 2008 on the database systems developed to distribute SDSS data.

Fermilab physicist and Muon g-2 co-spokesperson Chris Polly has won a Falling Walls Award in physical sciences, which honors researchers doing groundbreaking work in the observation and understanding of natural phenomena of the earth, atmosphere and space. Polly is being recognized for his contribution to the Muon g-2 collaboration. Its results earlier this year strengthened evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. He is also a finalist for Science Breakthrough of the Year 2021 in physical sciences.

Fermilab has received the Building Envelope Campaign Award for the Industrial Center Building Addition’s energy-efficient design of windows, exterior walls and roofs. Fermilab is one of 14 awardees selected by the DOE.
