*** 9725291 Cornell Dr. Eric A. Cornell of the University of Colorado and a Fellow of the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) and at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is the 22nd recipient of the Alan T. Waterman award. Dr. Cornell will receive $500,000 in research support over the next three years as part of this award. The Alan T. Waterman Award Committee overviewed the recommendation process after receiving 84 nominations. The National Science Board unanimously agreed to present the award to this atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physicist. The National Foundation presents this annual award to this annual award to a promising scientist, no more than 35 years of age or within five years of receiving his/her Ph.D., who is judged to be in the forefront of his/her field. The committee recognized Dr. Cornell for his demonstration of Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas. He is an AMO physicist who noted that Bose-Einstein condensate is a new macroscopic state with unique and fascinating properties. The applications have included the transformation of the field of atom interferometry much as the laser revolutionized optical interferometry. This work has opened up a rich and fascinating physical system with a host of further questions to explore. Dr. Cornell has emerged as a leader among his generation as an AMO physicist. His creativity, originality, and leadership ability set him apart in this field and have inspired progress in the AMO field. The award is the most prestigious honor of the National Science Foundation for young researchers. ***

*** 9725291康奈尔大学科罗拉多大学的埃里克·A·康奈尔博士，联合实验室天体物理学研究所（JILA）和国家标准技术研究院的院士，是艾伦·T·沃特曼奖的第22名获得者。 作为该奖项的一部分，康奈尔博士将在未来三年内获得500,000美元的研究支持。 艾伦·沃特曼（Alan T. Waterman）奖委员会在获得84项提名后概述了建议过程。 国家科学委员会一致同意向这个原子，分子和光学（AMO）物理学家颁发奖项。 国家基金会向一位有前途的科学家颁发了这一年度奖项，不超过35岁，或者在获得博士学位后的五年内，他被认为是他/她领域的最前沿。 该委员会认可康奈尔博士在天然气中表现出Bose-Einstein凝结的证明。 他是一位AMO物理学家，他指出，Bose-Einstein凝结物是一种具有独特且引人入胜的特性的新宏观状态。 当激光彻底改变了光学干涉法时，应用程序包括原子干涉法的转换。 这项工作开辟了一个丰富而令人着迷的物理系统，并有许多其他问题要探索。 康奈尔博士（Cornell）博士成为他这一代人的领导者，是AMO物理学家。 他的创造力，独创性和领导能力使他在这一领域与众不同，并激发了AMO领域的进步。 该奖项是国家年轻研究人员国家科学基金会最负盛名的荣誉。 ***
