Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter
1999 - 2001 APS Fellows
The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made
advances in knowledge through original research and publication or made significant and
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. Each year, no more than one-half of one percent of the then current membership of the Society are recognized by their peers for election to the status of Fellow in the American Physical Society.
Congratulations to the following members of the APS who have been elevated to fellowship through the Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter since the
1999 biennial meeting.
1999:
(None)
2000:
Lalit C. Chhabildas, Sandia National Laboratories
For pioneering contributions to the development and use of advanced diagnostic tools for
studying shock compressed materials and for sustained service in advancing the objectives of the American Physical Society.
Lyim Seamen, SRI International
In recognition of his fundamental contributions to the understanding of the microstructural processes that underlie failure in solids and the general relations between microstructure and failure and shock wave physics.
2001:
Dattatraya P. Dandekar, Army Research Laboratory
For innovative design of novel experimental techniques and multi-beam real-time velocity interferometric diagnostics to probe shocked-reshocked and heterogeneous materials.
