Awards
The following recipients received their awards during the ALS Users' Meeting Banquet. Congratulations to all!
- David A. Shirley Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement
at the ALS:
Alessandra Lanzarra (UC Berkeley/Berkeley Lab) and Eli
Rotenberg (Berkeley Lab)
"For their groundbreaking work measuring the electronic structure of graphene and the use of high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to understand the
unusual transport properties of graphene associated with Dirac fermions."
- Klaus Halbach Award for Innovative Instrumentation at the
ALS: Senajith Rekawa and Paul Denham (Berkeley Lab)
"For the development of world-leading instrumentation with nanometer actuation and control, and sub-picoamp current sensing which has enabled the ALS to be the preeminent location for advanced EUV research."
- Tim Renner User Services Award for Outstanding Support to the
ALS User Community: Gary Giangrasso (ALS)
"For his exceptional efforts in providing the highest quality service and assistance to ALS users.”
