Four UMD physicists have been named Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Election as a Fellow is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers.
Drew Baden - For distinguished contributions to the field of experimental particle physics, particularly for ideas contributing to the discovery of the top quark and to searches for new particles.
Michael Fuhrer - For experimental studies of the fundamental electronic transport properties of nanostructured carbon materials.
Ted Jacobson - For contributions to quantum gravity, black hole thermodynamics, and the formulation and phenomenology of Lorentz-violating modifications of particle and gravitational physics.
Chris Monroe - For the development and demonstration of novel techniques for quantum information processing and quantum simulation with trapped ions.
Other UMD Fellows named were Millard Alexander, Marco Columbini, William Fagan, Cynthia Moss, Aravind Srinivasan and Raymond St. Leger. New Fellows will be presented with an official certificate and a gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin on Saturday, 16 February, at the AAAS Fellows Forum during the 2013 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston, Mass.
