Five MIT affiliates receive awards from the American Physical Society

The  American Physical Society  (APS) recently honored five MIT community members for their contributions to physics: Professor Wit Busza, Instructor Karol Bacik, postdocs Cari Cesarotti and Chao Li, and Pablo Gaston Debenedetti SM ’81, PhD ’85.

Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics

Wit Busza , the Francis L. Friedman Professor of Physics Emeritus, and a researcher in the Laboratory for Nuclear Science , was awarded the Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics “for pioneering work on multi-particle production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions, including the discovery of participant scaling, and for the conception and leadership of the PHOBOS experiment.”

The prize recognizes outstanding experimental research in nuclear physics, including the development of a method, technique, or device that significantly contributes to nuclear physics research.

When two protons or nuclei traveling at close to the speed of light collide, a vast number of particles are created. It is a distinct example of energy converting to mass. As an example, when lead nuclei collide in the highest-energy colliders, one often sees over 10,000 protons, neutrons, antiprotons, pi-mesons, etc. streaming out from the tiny volume where the collision took place.

“It's amazing if you consider that this volume is no larger than that of a mere 100 or so of such particles,” Busza says. “The question arises: What exactly is this extremely hot (more than a billion times higher temperature than the surface of the sun) and super dense stuff, which was produced in the collision, before it evolved into the observed large number of created particles? It is a particularly interesting question since we think it is the same stuff, named the quark-gluon plasma, out of which most of our universe was made at about 10 microseconds after the Big Bang.”

Busza is best known for influential pA experiments at Fermilab, in which he discovered participant scaling and obtained, together with Alfred Goldhaber, the first data-based estimate of the energy density that will be produced in the future Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). He’s also known for originating and leading the PHOBOS experiment, which together with the other RHIC experiments discovered a strongly interacting quantum chromodynamics liquid (at the time named “strongly interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma”).

Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics

Instructor of applied mathematics Karol Bacik  received the American Physical Society’s 2023  Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics “for an elegant study of dune-dune repulsion and dune-obstacle interaction using laboratory experiments, data analysis, and mathematical modeling, elucidating the intricate feedback between sediment dynamics and fluid mechanics.”

His groundbreaking experimental and theoretical work on the  dynamics of underwater sand dunes was done at the University of Cambridge, where he received his PhD in 2021. From 2021-23 Bacik was a research associate at the University of Bath, where he investigated a range of problems in active flows and mathematical biology. 

Bacik’s award lecture will be at the 76th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics on Nov. 21.

J.J. and Noriko Sakurai Dissertation Award in Theoretical Particle Physics

Cari Cesarotti , a postdoc at the Center for Theoretical Physics, received the  2023 J.J. and Noriko Sakurai Dissertation Award in Theoretical Particle Physics “for exploration of collider signals of physics beyond the Standard Model, including the development and assessment of a novel collider event-shape observable tailored for distinguishing strongly coupled hidden sectors from background, and studies of physics at future muon accelerators and colliders.”

Cesarotti’s research program works toward discovering physics beyond the Standard Model in robust ways. This includes developing novel observables, model-building new physics scenarios, and advancing the physics case for future experiments. She is also an active member of the muon collider community. Cesarotti completed her BA in physics at Cornell University in 2017, and completed her dissertation in high-energy particle theory under Professor Matthew Reece at Harvard University in 2022.

Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics Award

Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) postdoc Chao Li received the 2023 Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Beam Physics Award “for seminal and highly creative contributions to the development of microfabricated, miniature atomic beam technology and the invention of new chip-scale techniques that enable precise and targeted delivery of neutral atoms.”

With MIT RLE’s Quantum Photonics and AI Group, Li is exploring the use of large-scale photonic integrated circuits for the fast and coherent control of various types of qubits, such as color centers in diamonds, trapped neutral atoms, and ions. Li earned his bachelor’s degree from Jilin University in 2016, and his PhD from Georgia Tech in 2022, both in physics.

Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational Physics

Pablo Gaston Debenedetti SM ’81, PhD ’85, an alumnus of the MIT Department of Chemical Engineering who is currently the Princeton University dean for research, received the 2023 Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational Physics “for seminal contributions to the science of supercooled liquids and glasses, water, and aqueous solutions, through ground-breaking simulations.”

Debenedetti’s research interests include supercooled water, glasses, protein thermodynamics, nucleation, metastability, the origin of biological homochirality, and hydrophobicity. His most important results, obtained with students and collaborators, include providing rigorous computational proof of the existence of a liquid-liquid transition in several water models, and demonstrating the relationship between structural order and water’s anomalies.

Dr. Xiang Yang

Former mechanical engineering PhD student Dr. Xiang Yang has received the 2017 Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics from the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Mechanics (APS-DFD). Dr. Yang received the award at the annual APS-DFD meeting in Denver, Colorado, November 19 – 21, 2017.

Dr. Yang received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering in 2016 from Johns Hopkins University, where he was advised by Professor Charles Meneveau and Professor Rajat Mitta l. Dr. Yang’s doctoral thesis was on modeling of drag forces and velocity fluctuation statistics in wall-bounded flows at high Reynolds numbers. His Ph.D. work represents collective efforts with his Hopkins advisors, his colleague Dr. Jasim Sadique at Johns Hopkins, Professor Ivan Marusic at University of Melbourne and Professor Luca Biferale at University of Rome. He is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University, working mostly with Professor Parvin Moin.

Andreas Acrivos

City college of new york, 1928 – present, chemical engineer, awarded bingham medal 1994, fellow, elected 2015.

Andreas Acrivos obtained his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Syracuse University in 1950. He then continued his chemical engineering studies at the University of Minnesota, obtaining his M.S. in 1951 and Ph.D in 1954. In 1954 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, attaining the rank of Professor in 1959. In 1962 he accepted a position at Stanford University where he remained for 26 years, serving as Chair of the Chemical Engineering Department from 1972 to 1975. In 1983-84, he held a visiting position as Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at the California Institute of Technology. In 1988 he accepted the position of Albert Einstein Professor of Science & Engineering and Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at City College New York (CCNY) where he served as Director of the Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics from 1988 to 2001. He retired with Professor Emeritus status at both City College and Stanford in 2001. Acrivos spent most of his career studying the properties of particulate systems such as suspensions, emulsions, and fiber-filled systems. Along with Howard Brenner and George Batchelor, he is largely responsible for our modern focus on the interconnections between the microstructure and microrheology of these materials and their macroscopic flow properties. His papers, coauthored with Frankel, on concentrated suspensions are among the most oft-cited works in the literature of these systems. But it is his collection of papers that combine experimentation and theory on the structure of dense suspensions subject to shear-induced self-diffusion that have had the most far-reaching and long-lasting impact on the field. His role as a mentor to future researchers in rheology is most notable, and he has single-handedly populated The Society of Rheology with many of its most productive members. Acrivos is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and American Chemical Society, and a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Physical Society, and American Academy of Arts & Science. He was a Guggenheim fellow (1960, 1977) and a member of the US National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from 1980 to 2000. He served the American Institute of Physics as Editor of Physics of Fluids A from 1982-1997, in which capacity he substantially reoriented the journal to contain many papers of fundamental interest to rheologists. He has received many honors, including being made the namesake of two awards: the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress in Chemical Engineering and the American Physical Society’s Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics . Acrivos was the 2001 National Medal of Science Awardee and is one of the foremost fluid dynamicists of the 20th Century.

October 2022 (Volume 31, Number 9)

Aps announces recipients of the fall 2022 prizes and awards.

Each year, APS recognizes outstanding achievement in research, education, and public service. This year’s fall award recipients, listed below, were selected from hundreds of nominees from across the physics community. APS congratulates them and applauds their dedication to science.

She earned the award “for an insightful and comprehensive study, based on innovative and elegant laboratory experiments, numerical analysis and theoretical modeling, of the non-linear dynamics of Jupiter, including its shallow vortices, deep jets, and their complex interactions.”

Lemasquerier—a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas—received her doctorate from the Institut de Recherche sur les Phénomènes Hors Equilibre in Marseille, France.

They earned the award “for seminal and visionary contributions to the development of immersed boundary methods, and for elegantly applying these methods to reveal the physics of a wide variety of fluid flows in complex geometries, including animal locomotion and heart flows.”

She earned the award “for a ground-breaking exploration of the liquid-solid interface, leading in particular to a quantitative understanding of the Navier slip condition, based on an exquisite surface force apparatus developed for this purpose.”

Charlaix is a faculty member at the Universite Grenoble Alpes in Grenoble, France.

He earned the award “for novel studies of exotic nuclei using precision laser spectroscopy measurements, including the first spectroscopy of short-lived radioactive molecules.”

Ruiz is a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He earned the award “for seminal theoretical investigations of a wide range of fundamental plasma processes, including magnetic reconnection, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, dynamo action, and dusty plasmas, and for pioneering contributions to linking laboratory plasmas to space and astrophysical plasmas.”

Bhattacharjee is a faculty member at Princeton University in New Jersey.

She earned the award “for theories of fusion alpha heating and metrics to assess proximity to thermonuclear ignition in inertially confined plasmas, and for the development of a novel measurement of hot electron preheat and its spatial distribution in direct-drive laser fusion.”

Christopherson—a scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory—received her doctorate from the University of Rochester in New York.

He earned the award “for theoretical contributions to our understanding of plasma waves and turbulence in astrophysical plasmas and the solar wind, and for the discovery and characterization of a broad class of instabilities in dusty astrophysical plasmas.”

Squire is a research fellow at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
