Throughout his career, his work has emphasized the use of simple models to understand complex behavior.[1]
Awards and honors
- 1988 Peter Mark Memorial award "For innovative approaches to the theoretical understanding of the electronic structure, properties, and measurement of surfaces and interfaces."
- 1996 MRS Medal "For seminal contributions to the theory of strain relaxation in thin films."
- 1997 Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics "For insightful, creative theoretical descriptions of surface phenomenology; particularly of crystal growth dynamics, surface structures and their probes."
- 2007 Medard W. Welch Award "For seminal theoretical contributions to the understanding of surfaces, interfaces, thin films and nanostructures of electronic materials."
gollark: That looks like a TV we had when someone shot it with a bow and arrow.
gollark: The great thing about having only two data points is that you can easily make models which predict your data perfectly.
gollark: Looks perfectly consistent to me!
gollark: See, THIS is on my 404 page and rotates utterly, as well as changing color.
gollark: I think you can do better with CSS animations.
