EPS distinctions 2019
The following individuals were elected as Fellows of the EPS:
- Giulio Cerullo, for his seminal contributions to the field of ultrashort pulse generation and applications to spectroscopy of molecules and solids, complemented by extensive service to the European photonics community within EPS.
- Yves Sirois, for his outstanding contributions to experimental high energy particle physics including a prominent role in the analyses leading to the discovery and characterization of the Higgs boson with the CMS experiment at the LHC, his leadership in the analysis of events at high Bjorken Q2 in deep-inelastic collisions with the H1 experiment at HERA, and wide range of developments in calorimetry detector techniques.
- Kees van der Beek for his outstanding contributions in the field of superconducting vortex physics and his great engagement and leadership in the Condensed Matter Physics Division of EPS.
- Marcel van der Voorde, for his outstanding contributions to the development of physics and multidisciplinary research, innovative technologies, and university education in Europe.
The 2019 EPS Gero Thomas Medal was awarded to Professor Sir John Enderby for his lifelong commitment to European collaboration across all fields and groundbreaking neutron research.
