Five University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers were named fellows in the American Physical Society Wednesday in recognition of significant research contributions using physics in science and technology.
The designation is awarded to less than half of 1 percent of all members of APS and is voted on by researchers’ peers, according to a statement released by the university.
The recipients from UW-Madison include Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Robert H. Blick, Physics Professor Sridhara Dasu, Senior Scientist in the Department of Physics Daniel J. Den Hartog, Professor of Physics Mark A. Eriksson, and Professor of Astronomy Alex Lazarian.
The winners were among approximately 250 researchers to receive the title in 2012, according to the APS website.
