Nominating Deadlines on June 1st

The nominating deadline for both FIAP Fellows and the Distinguished Lectureship on the Applications of Physics is on June 1st.

The process for nominating someone to a FIAP Fellowship is carefully outlined in a document at https://www.aps.org/units/fiap/fellowship/upload/fiap-fellowship-nominations.pdf

As one of APS’s largest units, FIAP represents those physicists plying their craft in both industrial and applied settings, and as such, FIAP provides Fellowships for physicists that have made their marks outside academia. Please consider nominating colleagues that have especially strong patent and/or commercial experience, or who have made an impact on the world using physics in places not conventionally associated with physics. We especially encourage the nomination of underrepresented minorities and female physicists.

FIAP also sponsors the Distinguished Lectureship on the Applications of Physics, which is currently filled by Robert Kleinberg. A description of the prize, the process for nomination, and current and past recipients can be found at: https://www.aps.org/programs/honors/awards/applications.cfm

As with Fellowships, FIAP encourages nominees who have made their careers in non-academic institutions, but who maintained strong ties to their physics background. Also similar to the Fellowship nominations, FIAP especially encourages the nomination of underrepresented minorities and female physicists.
