Three OSU Physicists named American Physical Society Fellows

Professors Jim Beatty, Ralf Bundschuh and Yuri Kovchegov have been elected to the 2012 class of American Physical Society Fellows.  Each year, elected APS Fellows number no more than 1/2 of 1% of Society membership.  A fellowship election is 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.
 
Please take a moment to congratulate these outstanding members of our faculty who join a large number of their colleagues who have also achieved this distinction.
