Distinguished Lectureship Award on the Applications of Physics

Dr. Cynthia Keppel gave her inaugural lecture, titled “Career Opportunities from Fundamental Physics to Patient Treatments” at the March Meeting 2019 during FIAP Industry Day. She also gave a similar version of the lecture in January at the Conference on Undergraduate Women in Physics, in February at the University of Tennessee, in late March at Hampton University, and at the Jefferson Lab Summer Science Series in late July. Looking forward, she will also be lecturing at the APS Four Corners meeting on Oct 11th.

In addition to these lectures, Dr. Keppel also organized a series of lectures on physics technology applications for the annual Hampton University Graduate Studies (HUGS) Summer School at Jefferson Lab, which is designed for experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics graduate students who have finished their coursework and have at least one year of research experience in these fields.

We are also excited to announce that Dr. Keppel has been invited to speak at TEDxCharlottesville 2019, held at the historic Paramount Theater in beautiful downtown Charlottesville, Virginia on Friday, November 8, 2019.

Working at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Dr. Keppel received the award “For pioneering work in proton therapy and for the promotion of the applications of physics to both experts and non-experts". Each year, the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics (FIAP) and the Committee on Careers and Professional Development (CCPD) recognize a physicist who has distinguished themselves in an industrial or non-academic career through the Distinguished Lectureship Award on the Applications of Physics. Would you like a colleague to be recognized for all that terrific work done over many years? More information on Dr. Keppel and the award can be found at this link.
