SFI External Professor Tanmoy Bhattacharya (Los Alamos National Laboratory) has been elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society. He is recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to computational and fundamental physics, especially to lattice QCD and computational biology, including computations of the QCD equation of state at finite temperature, the neutron electric dipole moment, and the timing of the spread of the modern HIV pandemic.
APS Fellowship is awarded to physicists with exemplary careers who meet the criteria of “outstanding physics research, important applications of physics, leadership in or service to physics, or significant contributions to physics education,” according to the society’s website.
The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication. Bhattacharya joins SFI Professors Geoffrey West, Cris Moore and Sidney Redner and External Professors Marco Buongiorno Nardelli, Raissa D'Souza, Mimi Koehl, Jon Machta, and Mark Newman, among other SFI researchers, as an APS Fellow.
