Teitel and Thomas Elected Fellows of the American Physical Society

Professors Stephen Teitel and John Thomas, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society at the November 2000 meeting of the APS Council.

Prof. Teitel was sponsored by the Division of Condensed Matter Physics (DCMP). His citation reads, "For contributions towrds the understanding and numerical modeling of critical phenomena in Josephson junction arrays and high temperature superconductors."

Prof. Thomas was sponsored by the Division of Astrophysics. His citation reads, "For major contributions to solar magnetohydrodynamics."

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.
