About APS Fellowship
APS Fellowship recognizes members for their outstanding efforts to advancing physics. Members may meet the requirements for Fellowship through:
- Exceptional original research and publication
- Significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology
- Remarkable advancements in the teaching of physics
- Exemplary service and participation in APS activities
The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or made significant 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.
Fellowship is a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers. Each year, no more than one half of one percent of the Society’s membership are elected to the status of Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Congratulations on this great recognition!
