APS Fellowship

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.

APS Fellows Nominated by DNP 

Filter by Year:


Christine A. Aidala [2023]
University of Michigan
Citation: For a series of impressive experiments aimed at elucidating the flavor and spin structure of the proton in terms of the quarks and gluons of QCD, conducted at high-energy facilities in both the USA and Europe.


CHRISTIAN ILIADIS [2023]
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Citation: For pioneering direct measurements of stellar nuclear reactions and fundamental contributions to our understanding of stellar evolution and explosions.


John Lajoie [2023]
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Citation: For the development of advanced trigger systems that enabled the discovery of the quark-gluon plasma and leadership in forging the first detector collaboration for the Electron-Ion Collider.


Anna Stasto [2023]
The Pennsylvania State University
Citation: For outstanding contributions to QCD at high energies and to the scientific case for future Electron-Ion Colliders.


Derek Teaney [2023]
Stony Brook University
Citation: For pioneering work on the hydrodynamical description of the quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and for important advances in the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum chromodynamics.


Itzhak Tserruya [2023]
Weizmann Institute of Science
Citation: For sustained leadership in the study of the Quark Gluon Plasma generated in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions using electromagnetic probes, through the development and deployment of pioneering hadron-blind detector systems in fixed-target and collider experiments.


André Walker-Loud [2023]
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Citation: For definitive contributions to fundamental symmetries in nucleons and nuclei, utilizing lattice QCD and Effective Field Theory, including the high-precision computation of the nucleon axial coupling.


Liang Yang [2023]
University of California San Diego
Citation: For outstanding contributions to precise measurements and rare event searches, and especially for a leadership role in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay with EXO-200.
