PROF. CHILINGARIAN ELECTED AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY FELLOW
The American Physical Society (APS) was founded in 1899 by 36
prominent physicists of the time, who gathered at Columbia University
for that purpose. Browsing through the names of the APS presidents
from founding days to today, is like reading the Who's Who in the
field of physics. Some of these scientists are so famous that they
have famous experiments or units of measure named after them. The
mission of APS is to be the leading voice for physics and an
authoritative source of physics information for the advancement of
physics and the benefit of humanity. Annually the APS names
physicists from around the world whose work has contributed to the
mission of advancing physics knowledge and benefiting humanity, as APS
fellows.
Prof. Ashot Chilingarian, the director of Yerevan Physics Institute
and the head of its Cosmic Ray Division is elected American Physical
Society Fellow this year.
The APS announcement reads as follows: "Ashot Chilingarian, Yerevan
Physics Insitute: For bringing one of the world's largest facilities
for monitoring different species of secondary cosmic rays located in
Armenia to the International Space Weather initiative as a global
warning system from violent space events. Nominated by: Forum on
International Physics"
Congratulations to Prof. Chilingarian!
