AWARD CITATION For developing the metrology to establish ultraviolet light as a safe and effective treatment for the sterilization of drinking and waste water. INDIVIDUAL AWARD Thomas C. Larason Electronics Engineer Physical Measurement Laboratory
Spielman was cited for "the development of quantum simulations using ultra-cold atoms, creation of synthetic electromagnetic fields, demonstration of synthetic spin-orbit coupling, and applications to studying new physical systems." Previous winners...
Campbell was chosen for "her pioneering contributions to the study of superfluidity in atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensates, realizing atomic analogs to superconducting and superfluid liquid circuitry, including the use of weak links to create the...
Congratulations to Stephen Russek (Magnetic Imaging) for being selected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) for 2014. He was recognized “for pioneering efforts in high frequency spintronics devices, novel magnetic resonance measurements...
The 2014 Early Career National Hispanic Scientist of the Year recipient, Dr. Ana Maria Rey, is a Columbian physicist at the University of Colorado, Boulder who "studies the scientific interface between atomic, molecular and optical physics, condensed...
Dr. Paul Witherell of the Engineering Laboratory’s Systems Integration Division, has been selected for the 2014 Young Engineer Award presented by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Computers and Information in Engineering (ASME/CIE)...
The 2014 IUPAP Young Scientist prize for the Commission on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (C15) was awarded to Jacob Taylor for groundbreaking advances in the design of compact, practical devices that bridge the classical world with the exotic...
She was cited for her experimental work in laser cooling atoms. This work has led to the practical demonstration of universal laws that underpin fundamental quantum behavior. The IOP citation states that "ultracold Fermi gases now represent one of...
