West Lafayette, ind. – The Purdue University recognizes the professors who were elected as scholarship holders of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the most distinct honors of the scientific community.
The honor, of the largest general scientific society in the world, recognizes members whose efforts in the name of the progress of science or its applications are scientifically or socially distinguished. The 2024 class includes the largest number of drivers of drivers in six decades.
“Having 10 boilers who have been appointed as Aaas scholarship holders in one year highlights the high caliber of our faculty,” said Karen Plaut, executive vice-president for Purdue for research. “Congratulations to our new AAAS scholarship holders on this recognition of their achievements.”
The new comrades of Purdue are:
Stephen L. CameronThe professor of entomology (College of Agriculture) is honored for distinguished contributions to the field of evolutionary genomics of insects, in particular by using mitochondrial genomic to better understand the evolution of insects, systematics and genomic biology. Cameron’s research is in the fields of molecular biology and genomics of arthropods and environmental and evolutionary entomology.
Yong ChenThe Karl Lark-Horovitz Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (College of Science/College of Engineering), is Being Honored for Distinguished Contributions in the Fields of Condensed Matter and Atomic and Molecular Physics, Particularly for the Synthesis and Studies of A Wide Variety of novel quantum matters, which ranges from Two-Dimensal and topological quantum Materials to New Types of Ultracold Molecules and Bose atomic bose condensates. CHEN’s laboratory exploits quantum physics to handle electrons, atoms, towers and photons in various artificial materials and systems in order to discover new quantum phenomena and new material states, and to explore applications in quantum devices, nanotechnology and energy.
Chris H. GreeneThe distinguished professor of physics of Albert (College of Science) is honored for distinguished contributions to the field of atomic and molecular optics, in particular for the theoretical predictions of physics to a few bodies. Greene’s research is concentrated in quantum systems with several bodies and several bodies, the collisions of molecule electrons and dissociative recombination, ultra-fast laser interactions with atoms and molecules, photofragmentation of atoms and molecules and multi-Annel Rydberg atoms.
Matthew HuberThe earth teacher, the atmosphere and the planetary sciences (College of Science), is honored for pioneering research on past and future climate dynamics, considerably progressing the understanding of the climatic impacts induced by humans and sustainability. His research is focused on the past, present and future climate; the mechanisms that govern the climate; The different forms that climates can take on earth; and the relationship between climate change and life.
Ernesto E. MarineroProfessor of Materials Engineering Practice (College of Engineering), is honored for distinguished contributions to the field of magnetic science of materials with conversion and energy storage applications, IT based on spin and magneto-plasmonic. His research at Purdue focuses on devices based on spintronics for spin waves and nanomaterial synthesis for the development of solid energy storage devices.
Bryan C. PijanowskiThe professor of forestry and natural resources (College of Agriculture) is honored for contributions distinguished to the documentation and the interpretation of the ecology of the sound landscape of natural systems and dominated by humans around the world. Pijanowski is an expert in ecology and biodiversity of the sound landscape, using acoustic sensors, AI tools and data exploration techniques to understand how humans have an impact on biodiversity.
Alex PothenThe IT teacher (College of Science) is honored for distinguished contributions and leadership in combinatorial algorithms for scientific IT. Pothen’s research interests are in discreet and computer discreet algorithms, high performance IT, data science and bioinformatics.
Christie SahleyProfessor and chief associate of biological sciences (College of Science), is honored for contributions distinguished to the excellence of excellence in science and in engineering by supporting diversity, equity and initiatives of inclusion in its department and its institution, as well as regionally and nationally by action and advocacy. Sahley’s research is in neurobiology, emphasizing the cellular and molecular analysis of learning and cellular response to neural lesions.
Ramaswamy SubramanianThe director of Gerald and Edna Mann of the Bindley Bioscience Center, Professor of Biological Sciences (College of Science) and professor of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (College of Engineering), is in the course of Honore for fundamental contributions to structural biology, to improve biology and biophysics with an interest in understanding the structures of atomic resolution and The molecular function, emphasizing enzymes and membrane carriers.
HAPE YEProfessor Richard J. and Mary Jo Schwartz at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (College of Engineering), is honored for contributions to understanding semiconductor interfaces and technical development of transistors technology on new channel materials. Ye explores new semiconductor materials and devices technologies to push the limits of modern electronics. His research focuses on high mobility channel materials, two -dimensional materials and advanced transistors to improve performance, scalability and energy efficiency in future computer systems.
