Seven AAAS Fellows from MIT
ASEE Prism, Feb 2008
Seven faculty members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been elected Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for 2007.
Fellows are elected for their "efforts toward advancing science applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished," according to the AAAS. The 471 new Fellows will be presented with a certificate and a gold (for science) and blue (for engineering) rosette pin on February 16 during the association's annual meeting in Boston.

Freidberg, associate dean of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center and professor of nuclear science and engineering, cited for "distinguished contributions to research and teaching in the areas of theoretical plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics as applied to problems in magnetic fusion"; Klavs F. Jensen, head of the department of chemical engineering and professor of chemical engineering and materials science and engineering, for the "elegant use of detailed simulations of reactive systems to gain new insight into the underlying basic physical and chemical rate processes"; Daniel G. Nocera, professor of energy and professor of chemistry, for "distinguished contributions to the development of renewable energy at the molecular level, with emphasis on the splitting of water with solar light"; Leona D. Samson, professor of toxicology and biological engineering, for "distinguished contributions to cancer prevention and treatment, particularly for elucidating ways in which cells, tissues, and animals respond to carcinogenic and chemotherapeutic agents"; Joseph M. Sussman, professor of civil and environmental engineering and engineering systems, for "contributions to understanding large, complex engineering systems with emphasis on transportation, freight and traveler systems, and for pioneering work in transportation systems education"; and Maria T. Zuber, head of the department of earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences, and professor of geophysics and planetary science, for "outstanding research contributions and scientific leadership in the geophysical studies of Earth and the solid planets."
