Four scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been named fellows of the American Physical Society (APS): David Christen, David Geohegan, Xun-Li Wang and William Weber.
Christen is the leader of the Superconductivity and Energy Efficient Materials group at ORNL and was chosen for his “sustained discovery and leadership in understanding of superconductive materials, especially their current conduction and vortex state properties.” He has worked at ORNL since 1974.
Wang is a member of ORNL’s Neutron Scattering Science Division and was chosen by APS for his contributions in neutron diffraction studies for ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source.
Only one half of one percent of the membership of APS membership can hold the position of fellow.
