It is our great pleasure to report that two of our faculty have been elected 2025 Fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
Seongshik (Sean) Oh was nominated through the Topical Group on Quantum Materials Synthesis and was cited
For advances in the MBE growth of chalcogenide thin films and defect engineering in 2D materials.
and
Vitaly Podzorov was nominated through the Division of Material Physics and his citation reads
For pioneering contributions to the understanding of charge transport, photoconductivity, and exciton dynamics in crystalline organic semiconductors, layered inorganic semiconductors, and metal-halide perovskites.
Congratulations Sean and Vitaly for your accomplishments!!
From the APS website:
"The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. They may also have made significant contributions to the teaching of physics or service and participation in the activities of the Society."
"Fellowship is a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers. Each year, no more than one half of one percent of the Society’s membership (excluding student members) are elected to the status of Fellow of the American Physical Society."
