- Physics has 35 full-time faculty.
- While the School conducts research in all the traditional areas
of physics, we have leveraged our relatively small size by focusing
on four areas in particular: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics,
Condensed Matter Physics, Computational Physics, and Non-Linear
Dynamics.
- This year we have added four faculty members (Laguna, Ballantyne, Shoemaker, and
Taboada) to form a major research activity: Center for Relativistic Astrophysics. Another new faculty
member (Jiang) has joined our strong condensed matter area.
- The School’s faculty includes:
- thirteen Fellows of the American Physical Society (Chapman, Chou, Cvitanovic', de Heer, Flannery, Fox, Gole, Landman, Trebino, Uzer, Wiesenfeld, You, Zangwill)
- one Fellow of the Optical Society of America (Trebino)
- two Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Gole and Trebino)
- three endowed Professors (Landman, Trebino, Cvitanovic')
- In the past few years, research awards to senior faculty members
include
- Regents' Professor (de Heer)
- Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award (Gole)
- Sigma Xi Sustained Research Award (de Heer)
- the Will Allis Prize of the American Physical Society (Flannery)
- the David Bates Prize of the Institute of Physics (Flannery)
- the Beams Award of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society (Flannery)
- the MRS Medal of the Materials Research Society (Landman)
- the Beams Award of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society (Landman)
- the Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computations Physics (Landman)
- the Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology of the Foresight Institute (Landman)
- the Esther Hoffmann Beller Prize of the Optical Society of America (O’Shea)
- the Harold Eugene Edgerton Prize of the Society of Photo-Instrumentation Engineers (Trebino),
- the R&D 100 Award for one of the top 100 inventions of the year (Trebino)
- the Circle of Excellence Award for one of the top 25 optics inventions of the year (Trebino).
- Junior faculty members have also garnered significant recognition
from their professional peers. Examples of awards and fellowships
include:
- three Alfred P. Sloan Fellowships (Erbil, Chou, Kuzmich),
- an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Uzer),
- three National Science Foundation CAREER Awards
(Chou, Marchenkov, You), - an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (You, Kuzmich),
- Cullen-Peck Professorship (Kuzmich), and
- two David and Lucille Packard Foundation Fellowships (Chou,
Davidovic),
- Burroughs Welcome Career Award (Goldman)
