Queen’s Professor named Fellow of the American Physical Society
Professor Marty Gregg, from the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen’s University Belfast, has been named a Fellow of the American Physical Society for his exceptional contributions to the field of physics.
The American Physical Society (APS) Fellowship honours members who have made exceptional contributions to physics research, significant contributions to physics education or provided leadership and service to the APS community.
Professor Gregg leads pioneering research on nanoscale ferroelectrics at Queen’s. His work focuses on understanding the behaviour of the internal microstructure of ferroelectrics, including both domains and domain walls. His team explores how microstructure might be controlled, with the aim of both furthering fundamental understanding and harnessing properties for next-generation electronic devices.
He was specifically recognised by the American Physical Society (APS) for his:
“seminal contributions to the understanding of the physics of ferroelectric domains and domain walls at the nanoscale, and for pioneering experiments towards their functionalisation in electronic devices.”
Being elected as an APS Fellow is a prestigious recognition of outstanding professional achievement. Fewer than one-half of one percent of the society’s membership (excluding students) are honoured each year, highlighting the international esteem in which Professor Gregg is held by his peers.
The Fellowship solidifies Professor Gregg’s position as a leading expert in his field, reflecting both his research impact and global influence.
