Six Argonne scientists elected American Physical Society fellows
ARGONNE, Ill. (Jan. 22, 2008) — The American Physical Society (APS) has recently
announced new fellows for 2007, and six Argonne scientists have been elected.
Fellowship is an honor that recognizes important work in the physical sciences
by professional peers. Each nominee was evaluated by the fellowship committee
of the appropriate APS division, topical group or forum. After review by the
APS fellowship committee, the successful candidates are elected by the APS
Council.
Michael Borland of Argonne's Accelerator Systems Division was elected for
his contributions to fourth generation light sources, particularly for development
and support of the program ELEGANT, the first integrated accelerator code to
realistically model coherent synchrotron radiation effects. More
