David
E. Pritchard, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics,
has received the Optical Society of America’s Max Born Award.
The award, given annually to recognize outstanding contributions
to physical optics, theoretical or experimental, honors Pritchard
for his work in the “creative application of light to new forms
of spectroscopy, to manipulation and trapping of atoms, and for
pioneering the new fields of atom optics and atom interferometry."

Alan H. Guth,
the Victor F. Weisskopf Professor of Physics, is co-winner of the
2004
Cosmology Prize of the Peter Gruber Foundation. Guth and colleague
Andrei Linde of
Stanford University were awarded the prize for
"...their development of fundamental ideas of cosmic inflation,
which has been one of the dominant themes of cosmology for more
than two decades.
The original concept of inflation and its many variations, including
chaotic inflation, proposed and developed by Guth and Linde, have
led to a revolution in our approach to studying cosmology and to
understanding the history of the universe."
The Cosmology Prize of the Peter Gruber Foundation is one of the
premier international prizes in the field. The Foundation annually
presents its gold medal and a $200,000 unrestricted cash award to
an outstanding scientist or scientists who have made groundbreaking
contributions in the field of cosmology.
