UTSA physics professor receives prestigious research award
(Oct. 8, 2002)--University of Texas at San Antonio physics professor Dhiraj Sardar has been awarded the 2003 "Prize to a Faculty Member for Research in an Undergraduate Institution" by the American Physical Society.
The award was established to honor a physicist whose research in an undergraduate
setting has achieved wide recognition and contributed significantly to physics,
and who has contributed substantially to the professional development of undergraduate
physics students.
Sardar was selected for his outstanding research on the interaction of laser
light with matter, particularly the spectroscopic characterization of new
solid-state media, for his involvement and support of undergraduates in his
research, and for his dedication to minority student education.
The American Physical Society has more than 40,000 members and develops and
implements effective programs in physics education and outreach. The organization
also fosters the health of the profession through its career and development
initiatives and its committees on women and minorities.
