National physics society presents two professors with prizes
Both Shankar and Schoelkopf win American physical society awards, a rarity for a single university
The American Physical Society honored two Yale physicists with prestigious prizes this year: one who has “taught it all” and one who built the “world’s fastest counter of the smallest beans.”
This month, the APS awarded the $10,000 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize to physics professor Ramamurti Shankar and the $5,000 Joseph F. Keithley Award for Advances in Measurement Science to applied physics and physics professor Robert Schoelkopf.
