David DeMille wins the Francis M. Pipkin award of the American Physical Society. The Pipkin award was established to recognize exceptional research accomplishments by an early-career scientist in the interdisciplinary area of precision measurement and fundamental constants and encourages the wide dissemination of the research results. DeMille’s citation reads as
For wide-ranging studies of fundamental symmetries in atoms and molecules, including novel approaches to searches for the electric dipole moment of the electron and investigations of parity non-conservation and the spin-statistics connection.
The Pipkin award will be presented at the APS April 2007 meeting in Jacksonville, FL, at a special ceremonial session. Click here for Yale University Press Release.
