Kelly Gaffney, a professor of photon science at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University, has been named one of the 2024 fellows of the American Physical Society (APS). The fellowship honors members for their significant contributions to advancing physics, which includes research, application or teaching of physics, and service to APS.
Gaffney is also a principal investigator at the Stanford PULSE Institute, a joint SLAC/Stanford institute focused on ultrafast energy science. This field involves research on the femtosecond timescale—millionths of a billionth of a second or faster.
The APS Division of Chemical Physics recognized Gaffney for "seminal contributions to the development of novel ultrafast X-ray methods and their application to solution phase chemical and molecular dynamics."
Fellows are nominated by their peers within APS. According to APS guidelines, no more than one-half of one percent of its membership are elected as fellows each year.
