Emeritus Status
Argonne's world-class scientists have achieved national and international
recognition, including:
- Three Nobel Prizes,
- 98 R&D 100 Awards,
- More than 700 national and international awards and honors, and
- More than 800 patents.
Argonne announced on March 23, 2006, the creation of a new honorary
status for qualified scientists and engineers. The title of "Emeritus" will
be conferred at the time of a scientist's or engineer's retirement and is
intended to recognize the individual's contributions to the laboratory. This
title is intended to only be granted to the most distinguished of scientists
and engineers.
Individuals whose primary contribution was in a scientific discipline will
be conferred with the title of Argonne Emeritus Scientist
and those whose primary contribution was in an engineering discipline will
be conferred with the title of Argonne Emeritus
Engineer.
The eligible retiree must first be nominated by the cognizant division director
or associate division director and then approved through the Programmatic and
Operations Committee's hires and promotions process. Factors that
will be considered are educational level, grade level at retirement, years
of service at the laboratory, scientific/engineering accomplishments and recognition
by the national and international scientific community as evidenced by awards
received by the individual. Awarding of the Emeritus title also requires approval
of the Argonne Director.
The title will initially be bestowed for a five-year term, with renewable one-year
terms available.
The emeritus
status has been bestowed upon the following individuals:
- Berkowitz, Joseph – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Carpenter, John M. – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Derrick, Malcolm – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Felcher, Gian – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Fields, Thomas – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Henning, Walter F. – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Lyness, James – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Schiffer, John – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Teng, Lee C. – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
- Thurnauer, Marion – Argonne Emeritus Scientist
