Department of Physics Professor Richard Furnstahl was awarded the American Physical Society 2025 Herman Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics!

This award is given "To recognize and encourage outstanding research in theoretical nuclear physics. The prize should consist of $10,000 and a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient. It is presented annually." (APS website)

Professor Furnstahl was chosen for his "foundational contributions to calculations of nuclei, including applying the Similarity Renormalization Group to the nuclear force, grounding nuclear density functional theory in those forces, and using Bayesian methods to quantify the uncertainties in effective field theory predictions of nuclear observables."

Congratulations, Professor Furnstahl!
