Nicholas Metropolis Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Work in Computational Physics

Journal of Computational Physics

Congratulations to Soon Yong Chang of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign for receiving the 2008 Nicholas Metropolis Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Work in Computational Physics. Chang has been credited "For so productively bringing state-of-the-art computational methods, developed in nuclear matter theory, to condensed matter many-body problems, especially ultracold trapped atomic Fermi systems."

The purpose of the award is to recognize doctoral thesis research of outstanding quality and achievement in computational physics and to encourage effective written and oral presentation of research results Supported by the Journal of Computational Physics the award is presented at the 2008 American Physical Society March Meeting in New Orleans, USA.

2008 AMS Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics

Nuclear Physics B

We would like to congratulate Nuclear Physics B Editor, Hirosi Ooguri of the California Institute of Technology, who has recently been awarded the 2008 AMS Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics from the American Mathematical Society. Together with Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa of Harvard University, Ooguri has been recognised for his work which relates the number of black hole states to the topological string theory.

The AMS Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics is awarded every three years to a work or group of works that brings the fields of mathematics and physics closer together. The award ceremony took place at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, California on January 7th 2008.

On behalf of Nuclear Physics B we congratulate all the recipients.
