University Professor of Physics and Professor Emeritus of the Graduate School Marvin L. Cohen, and Professor Emeritus of the Graduate School Steven Louie
Berkeley Physics is pleased to announce that Marvin L. Cohen and Steven Louie are team recipients of the APS 2025 Mildred Dresselhaus Prize in Nanoscience and Nanomaterials.
Both have been cited: For developing theoretical and calculational methods able to predict and explain electronic, optical, magnetic, and topological properties of nanomaterials.
APS established the Dresselhaus Prize to honor the remarkable scientific career and inspiring community legacy of Mildred S. Dresselhaus. In 2018, the Millie Dresselhaus Fund for Science and Society was developed in close cooperation with Millie’s son, Paul Dresselhaus, and daughter, Marianne Cooper. The Prize was endowed in 2021, which was made possible by generous gifts from the Heising-Simons Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, national laboratories, foundations, and many individuals who hope to continue Millie’s legacy. The Prize will be given in perpetuity to inspire the next generation of leaders in nanoscience and nanomaterials.
Congratulations Marvin and Steven!
