Some 37 prizes and awards are being distributed to 50 recipients this year by the American Physical Society.
Eric Lauga receives the Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics. His award is based on his dissertation on “slip and mixing relevant to micron-scale geometries.” Lauga worked under the direction of Michael P. Brenner and Howard A. Stone in the division of engineering and applied sciences at Harvard University. He is now an assistant professor of applied mathematics at MIT.
Samuel D. Bader is honored with the David Adler Lectureship Award in Materials Physics “for spirited lectures, writing and experimental research in the area of nanomagnetism, magnetic films, multilayers and surfaces of metallic systems, including championing the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect approach,” according to the APS citation. He is an Argonne National Laboratory Distinguished Fellow, leader of the lab’s magnetic films group, associate director of its materials science division, and chief...
