Gretchen Campbell has been elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) for pioneering contributions to the study of superfluidity in atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensates using ring-shaped condensates.

Founded in 1899, the APS is the world's second largest organization of physicists. Fellows are recognized by their peers for advances made in knowledge, through original research and publications. The total number of newly elected Fellows in any one year cannot exceed one per cent of Society memberships.

Campbell, an Adjunct Assistant Professor, is recognized for advancing the emerging field of physics known as atomtronics. She was an NRC Postdoctoral Fellow in Jun Ye's group at NIST, Boulder and joined the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) as a Fellow in 2009.
