Margaret Murnane Elected to American Philosophical Society Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 05/28/2015 - 16:23

Congratulations to Physics Professor and JILA fellow Margaret Murnane, who has recently been elected to the prestigious American Philosophical Society (APS).

Murnane is the fourth CU-Boulder faculty member to be elected to APS. There were 34 people worldwide elected in 2015 to the society, which was founded in 1743 in Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin, who later became its first president.

Murnane is known internationally for her research -- much of it with her husband and colleague, JILA fellow and CU-Boulder physics Professor Henry Kapteyn -- which includes conducting optical and X-ray science using tabletop light sources. The group develops new ultrafast laser and coherent X-ray sources as part of its research in optical sciences, using the light sources for new experiments in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering. Ultrafast coherent X-ray beams are expected to be indispensable tools for scientists in developing practical nanoscale machines.

Murnane is the recipient of dozens of national and international awards. She has been elected to both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was awarded a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship or “genius grant” in 2000. Murnane and Kapteyn shared the 2010 R.W. Wood Prize from the Optical Society of America.

Deborah Jin Awarded Isaac Newton Medal Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 07/24/2014 - 14:18

Congratulations to Physics Professor and JILA Fellow Deborah Jin, who earned the prestigious 2014 Isaac Newton Medal by the Institute of Physics. The award was announced on Tuesday, July 1, 2014.

The Institute of Physics is a leading international scientific society headquartered in London. The Isaac Newton award is given annually to a physicist, regardless of subject area, background or nationality, for outstanding contributions to physics. According to their release, the IOP recognized Jin for her experimental work in laser cooling atoms, which, "has led to the practical realisation of universal laws that underpin fundamental quantum behaviour".

Professor Jin's work focuses on ultracold trapped atoms experiments, which include laser cooling, magnetic trapping, and evaporative cooling to reach temperatures below one microKelvin, where quantum statistics dominate the behavior of atoms.
