Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in Atomic, Molecular, or Optical Physics

Email | Print

To recognize doctoral thesis research of outstanding quality and achievement in atomic, molecular, or optical physics and to encourage effective written and oral presentation of research results. The award to be given annually consists of $2,500 and a certificate citing the contribution made by the recipient. All finalists will receive a travel stipend of $500.

Establishment & Support

The award was established in 1992 by the Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics and is sponsored by members and friends of the Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics.

Rules & Eligibility

Doctoral students at any university in the United States or abroad who have passed their thesis defense for the Ph.D. in the disciplines of atomic, molecular, or optical physics any time during the two calendar years preceding the DAMOP Annual Meeting at which the award is to be presented are eligible for the award, except for those whose thesis advisors serve on the current Selection Committee. A student may be a finalist in the competition only once. Eligible non-finalists may only be renominated by submitting an entirely new package, even if it is the same as the original package. Renominations are NOT made automatically.

Nomination & Selection Process

This year’s deadline has passed.  Please check back later for next year’s nomination information and deadline.
