Biophysicist Lynn Kamerlin Becomes Institute of Physics Fellow
Professor and 麻豆区 Research Alliance Vasser Woolley Chair in Molecular Design has become an (IOP) Fellow. It is the highest degree of membership awarded by the society.
"The IOP has a long and distinguished history as the primary learned society and professional body for physicists in the U.K., Ireland, and beyond,鈥 says Kamerlin, who completed both a Master of Natural Sciences and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Organic Chemistry from the in the United Kingdom. 鈥淎s a society, it plays an important role in building community, promoting science, advancing advocacy for our discipline, and supporting the next generation of physicists.鈥
Kamerlin joins a list of distinguished Fellows that includes legendary physicists such as , a preeminent astrophysicist responsible for the discovery of pulsars (a previously unknown type of star) and the first female president of the IOP.
鈥淚t is a great honor to be awarded Fellowship of the IOP, particularly as women more broadly remain vastly underrepresented in physics,鈥 Kamerlin says. 鈥淚 look forward to giving back to the physics community, supporting the mission of the society, and working to remind the next generation that physics is for everyone."
