The Eugene Feenberg Memorial Medal
The Feenberg Award was established at the Third International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories in 1983 as a continuing memorial to Eugene Feenberg. It commemorates his wise stewardship of a field that penetrates into all branches of physics; his deep physical insights and great formal achievements; his dedicated service as teacher and mentor; and the exemplary integrity of his personal and professional life. The Eugene Feenberg Medal is awarded under the auspices of the International Advisory Committee of the series of International Conferences on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories. The Feenberg Medal is normally awarded for work which is firmly established and which can be demonstrated to have significantly advanced the field of many-body physics, but cases where a nominee has made a single important contribution are not precluded. See the official rules for more details. Recipients include David Pines (1985), John W. Clark (1987), Malvin H. Kalos (1989), Walter Kohn (1991), David M. Ceperley (1994), Lev P. Pitaevskii (1997), Anthony J. Leggett (1999), Philippe Nozières (2001), Spartak T. Belyaev and Lev P. Gor'kov (2004). Raymond Bishop and Hermann Kümmel (2005). Stefano Fantini and Eckhard Krotscheck (2007). Dirk Walecka (2009). The twelfth award will be presented to Dirk Walecka at the International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories, RPMBT15, in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A., July 27-31, 2009 The Selection Committee this year was composed of Siu A. Chin (chair), Stefano Fantoni, Eckhard Krotscheck and David Neilson. |
