Edwin P. Chan Honored with PECASE

For innovative measurement methods that reveal the complex properties of soft polymer films, which are necessary for industry to design and manufacture advanced water filtration membranes, ionic transport media for batteries and fuel cells, and...

Elijah Petersen Honored with PECASE

For pioneering measurement methods of nanomaterials toxicity that now underpin industry and public sector assessments of the environmental, health, and safety impacts of technologically important products, such as carbon nanotubes.

2019 PECASE - Alexey Gorshkov

For pushing the frontiers of quantum science through groundbreaking research, including manipulating individual light particles to strongly interact—something they do not naturally do, and which was recognized by “Physics World” as one of the top ten...

2019 PECASE - Franklyn Quinlan

For defying prevailing theory from the past 40 years to generate the world’s most stable electromagnetic signals spanning the radiofrequency, microwave and optical ranges, and to make a 10,000-fold improvement in the ability to measure those signals...

2019 PECASE - Laura Sinclair

For creating a suite of some of the world’s best optical tools to bring precision measurement out of well-controlled laboratory environments and into the field for such applications as long-distance time transfer and detection of airborne...

2019 PECASE - Kathryn Keenan

For transforming magnetic resonance imaging into a quantitative tool to diagnose and treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases through the development of a world-first standard suite, providing leadership in the medical and scientific community...

2019 PECASE - Varun Verma

For pushing the frontiers of quantum physics through pioneering new devices that detect and count single particles of light, and for serving the community through professional leadership, mentoring students, and assisting disabled skiers through the...

2019 PECASE - Stephen P. Jordan

Jordan's contributions to computing science have provided valuable insight into how to exploit quantum systems for computation. They have also laid the groundwork for answering fundamental scientific questions such as the inherent computational power...

ACerS Distinguished Life Member Winnie Wong-Ng

Winnie Wong-Ng is senior research chemist in the Materials Measurement Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. She has a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Louisiana State University...

R. Joseph Kline Honored with Flemming Award

For his outstanding federal service through interdisciplinary research in the evolution of methods to determine the complex, three-dimensional structure of advanced state-of-the-art structures needed for today’s semiconductor industry and the...

Jason Hattrick-Simpers Honored by Maryland Science Center

Dr. Hattrick-Simpers’ pioneering materials science research is aimed at the optimization of properties and processing of novel materials through the integration of machine-learning, artificial intelligence and high-throughput experiment methodologies...
