Paul Anderson named American Physical Society Fellow
Paul Anderson, professor of physics, has been named a 2020 Fellow for the American Physical Society (APS). The APS Division of Gravitational Physics nominated Anderson for his significant contributions to the understanding of quantum field theory in curved space.
The APS Fellowship Program is a distinct honor bestowed upon a select few APS members each year. The program recognizes physicists who have advanced the field of physics through original research and publication, made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology, or teaching contributions. The Fellowship signifies high regard and recognition from professional peers.
