Shirley Chiang, professor of physics at UC Davis, has been elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, an organization of more than 43,000 physicists worldwide formed in 1899. Chiang was elected for advances in real-space imaging of surface structure by scanning tunneling and force microscopies, especially for molecular identification, the imaging of metals and alloys, and atomic-scale friction forces. She also was elected this year to a fellowship in the American Vacuum Society, a subdivision of the physical society.
