Charbonneau Named Fellow of APS

Duke University Professor of Chemistry and Physics Patrick Charbonneau has been named a Fellow by the American Physics Society (APS). The distinct honor signifies recognition by professional peers for outstanding contributions to physics. APS members elect no more than one half of one percent of the society's membership each year to Fellowship.

Charbonneau was nominated for his "seminal contributions to the understanding of glassy materials, in particular the elucidation of the Gardner Transition and the use of dimensionality in computer simulation as a means to uncover universal features of the dynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses," according to APS. 

For seminal contributions to the understanding of glassy materials, in particular the elucidation of the Gardner Transition and the use of dimensionality in computer simulation as a means to uncover universal features of the dynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses.

Jungsang Kim, professor of electrical and computer engineering, is the other Duke University faculty member named a Fellow this year.

They will be formally recognized at the annual meeting of the unit through which they were elected.
