Past and Present Panofsky Fellows: A History Of Excellence in Research

Since the creation of the Panofsky Fellowship award in 1989, there have been six Fellows performing research at SLAC in the fields of experimental and theoretical particle physics, astrophysics, and accelerator physics. Two Fellowships were awarded in 2006 and one in 2007.

The research program at SLAC has broadened significantly in the intervening years. In addition to the traditional disciplines that centered around SLAC’s accelerator complex, Fellows may now consider conducting their research in the areas of neutrino physics (e.g. EXO), particle astrophysics and cosmology. SLAC and Stanford University now jointly host the Kavli Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC). This collaborative venture has dramatically expanded SLAC’s nascent experimental particle-astrophysics program (e.g. GLAST) adding new projects (e.g. LSST, JDEM, NuSTAR) to our program, as well as strong theoretical and computational components.
