C. T. Liu has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering. He was cited "for advancing ordered metallic compounds from the laboratory to practice." Thirteen other researchers previously affiliated with ORNL have been elected to the academy.
Jeff Blackmon is one of five Department of Energy recipients of the latest Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). He was cited for his pioneering work at ORNL's Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility that advanced understanding of the nuclear processes behind stellar explosions. Eleven ORNL researchers have received PECASE awards. Marilyn Brown has earned the 2004 James R. Anderson Medal of Applied Geography from the Association of American Geographers. She was cited for her national leadership in the analysis and interpretation of energy futures in the United States, particularly noting her publication Scenarios of a Clean Energy Future, which illustrates how technologies and policies could address national energy needs over the next two decades. ORNL corporate fellows Tom Wilbanks and David Greene have been designated lifetime national associates of the National Academies, which consists of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Research Council, and the Institute of Medicine. The designation of national associate is in recognition of extraordinary service to the National Academies and advising the nation in matters of science, engineering, and health. Sang-ho Kim has won the 2004 Outstanding Young Researcher Award of the Association of Korean Physicists in America for his outstanding contribution to superconducting cavity research. Ted Barnes and Tom Ferrell have been named fellows of the American Physical Society. Barnes was cited for his research on hybrid and exotic hadrons, and Ferrell was cited for his work in developing and understanding the photon scanning tunneling microscope. Emory Collins received the Glenn Seaborg Actinide Separations Award for 2004. Pat Parr shared the Hinote Award of the Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere for her energy and leadership in promoting stewardship and ecosystem management at the Oak Ridge Reservation and in addressing the Oak Ridge Reservation's invasive species issue.
