Judy Cha, professor of materials science and engineering, has been elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) by the APS Council of Representatives during their September council meeting, upon the recommendation of the American Physical Society Division of Materials Physics.
The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. Professor Cha is recognized for her pioneering contributions in the development of nanoscale synthesis and characterization methods for topological nanomaterials, resulting in enhanced properties of the topological electronic states for device applications and fundamental studies.
The number of APS Fellows elected each year is limited to no more than one half of one percent of its membership. It is a distinct honor signifying recognition of Cha's outstanding contributions to physics by her peers.
