The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has selected Virginia Tech Leo Pilon as the new partner of one of the most distinguished members of the scientific community.
Pilon is a professor of physics at the Virginia Tech College of Science. He honored AAAS Piilonen for his “significant contribution to experimental elementary physics, in particular the collaboration between Belle and Belle II and the search and identification of Moon and K-Long Mason”.
These powerful particle physics probes – the first Belle and the new Belle II – are located on the campus of the High Energy Acceleration Research Institute (KEK in Japanese acronym) in Sukuba Science City, Japan. The Pilon team designed KLM for both detectors. The Belle II is designed to accurately measure weak communication parameters and to obtain “new physics” beyond the standard physics standard, according to the institute’s website. Measurements in Japan helped him win the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics. I am grateful to Piilonen, a member of the local team, and now a postdoctoral scientist, Vpin Gaur, for his many contributions to working at KEK. Taylor Kimmel, Ph.D. last year; And the current Physics Ph.D. Students Zachary Stottle and Tommy Lam.
Pilon was elected chairman of the 500-member Belle Cooperation and the Belle II Cooperative Board, representing the interests of 1,000 members. A.D. In 2016, Pilon led a local team to develop the Belle II experiment, partly supported by the Virginia Tech Institute of Innovation, Arts and Technology, a virtual reality-reality interactive model. The effort is designed to bring particle-physics studies into the classroom. “This project has been recognized by more than 30 institutions around the world for student training and public service,” Pilon wrote.
“We are delighted to have Leo Pilon as an AAAS partner for his experimental elementary physics research,” said Dan Sui, senior vice president of Virginia Tech Research and Innovation. “Dr. Pilonon’s internationally and internationally recognized research has had a profound impact on the physics.
“Dr. Pillon’s appointment as a member of the American Scientific Development Association recognizes his expertise and his many contributions to science,” said Dean Ron Frecker, an interim dean of the College of Science.We Looking back on the anniversary and the history of the university, Leo’s research is long overdue. His decades of research in the field of physics, including his decades-long work with the Belle and Bele 2 projects, set new standards for scientific discoveries.
In nearly four decades of experimental particle physics in the field of particle physics, Leo has made significant contributions to the understanding of basic particle matter and interactions, particularly in his leadership and contribution to the Belle and Belle II experiments in Japan, ”said Mark Pitt, professor and chairman of the Department of Physics.
Piilonen is a member of the American Physical Society. Other Honor Awards 2019 Best Faculty Award from the State High Council for Virginia and 2019 Tech Alumni Award from Virginia Tech. A.D. From 2010 to 2016 he held the Junior Senior Fellowship in Physics with William E. Hassinger. He joined Virginia Tech in 1987 and in 2010 became the department’s first director of the department’s neutrino physics center. He has since served as the department’s chairman since 2012. Until 2015.
A.D. Until junior high.
AAAS is the publisher of the world’s largest scientific community and scientific family journals.
The 2021 AAAS Fellows section features 564 innovations by scientists, engineers and 24 scientific disciplines, including their scientific and social achievements. Also honored this year is Virginia Tech XJ Meng, an Honorary Professor at the University of Virginia-Maryland Veterinary College and Professor of Internal Medicine at the Virginia Tech Carlion Medical School.
Founded in 1848, the AAAS includes more than 250 cooperative communities and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals. The non-profit AAAS is open to all and carries out its mission of “promoting science and serving the community” through science policy, international programs, science education, public participation and more. The tradition of honoring AAAS Fellows began in 1874.
According to AAAS, this year’s students will receive an official certificate and a gold and blue rosette pin to commemorate their choice on behalf of science and engineering. His friends are safe in the public eye due to the ongoing CV-19 outbreak, not in February, and will be celebrated in person the next day.
