Sarah Keller Elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society

Sarah Keller, Professor of Chemistry, Adjunct Professor of Physics, and Associate Dean for Research Activities, was recently elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). Professor Keller was nominated by the Division of Biological Physics “For her pioneering, fundamental contributions to the understanding of miscibility phase transitions in model surfactant and membrane systems”.

Newly elected APS Fellows number no more than one-half of one percent of Society membership and election is considered a distinct honor because the evaluation process, conducted by the Fellowship committees of individual divisions, topical groups and forums, is done entirely by one’s professional peers.

The list of 2011 Fellows will be published in the March 2012 issue of APS News and a list of all Fellows, past and present, can be
