Jizhong Zhou has been elected a fellow of the American Society for Microbiology. He was cited "for his pioneering advances and leadership in developing and applying integrated genomics technologies to address research challenges in functional genomics, including understanding the diversity, structure, mechanisms, and dynamics of microbial communities and extremophilic metal-reducing bacteria important to bioremediation, global changes, and carbon sequestration." Gary Van Berkel has been awarded the Biemann Medal by the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for his achievements in and contributions to better understanding the electrochemical nature of the electrospray ion source. The Biemann Medal recognizes significant achievements in basic or applied mass spectrometry made by an individual early in his or her career. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently named six ORNL researchers as IEEE senior members: Norbert Holtkamp, Burak Ozpineci, Melissa C. Smith, Ida Lee, Lynne Parker, and Jie J. Wu. Senior member is the IEEE's highest professional grade, representing 7% of the institute's membership. Robert Harrison, Tony Mezzacappa, and Thomas Thundat have been named UT-Battelle Corporate Fellows. Harrison is chief architect of the world's leading computational chemistry code; Mezzacappa was the first to model neutrino transport during supernova explosions, a theoretical and numerical feat long thought impossible; and Thundat is a leader in the field of nanomechanical sensors.
