Sherrill’s work with the nuclear science community helped to explain the need for FRIB and how the rare isotopes it will produce will answer fundamental questions regarding the stability of atomic nuclei and the origin of elements in the cosmos. He has also promoted the use of isotopes from FRIB for medical and industrial applications. “We are building FRIB to answers basic questions in nuclear science, but I am also excited about the potential major discoveries that will impact our everyday lives,” Sherrill said. Sherrill will be presented with the award at a special APS ceremony on 15 April 2018.
