Honors & awards

Derek Mendez and Xueli “Sherry” Zheng aim to accelerate drug discovery and improve energy storage.

He was honored for his work in ultrafast physics.

Her work will advance a next-generation experiment in the hope of detecting this mysterious ingredient of the universe.

The theorist is one of seven Stanford faculty members elected by the Academy this year, recognizing their exceptional contributions in their fields and professions.

The $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics went to the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb collaborations representing 13,508 researchers.

SLAC's   deputy director for science and technology joins three others Stanford faculty as new fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

For nearly 50 years, Hodgson has illuminated the synchrotron radiation community through his pioneering research, innovations, leadership, advocacy and mentorship at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.

Scientists worldwide who conduct research at SLAC’s light sources shine light on latest discoveries and innovations in talks, workshops and discussions.

David Cesar, Julia Gonski and W.L. Kimmy Wu will each receive $2.75 million issued over five years for their research in X-ray and ultrafast science, new physics and primordial gravitational waves.

During her fellowship she will continue research that aims to deepen our understanding of quantum materials.

The program was among those honored with a 2024 Stanford President’s Award for Excellence Through Diversity.

The award recognizes Driver’s contribution toward attosecond X-ray capabilities.
