[Report of Honor] Two Academia Sinica Academicians Elected Fellows of American Academy of Arts and Sciences (Chinese Version)
Academia Sinica Newsletter (2010/05/04) Academia Sinica Academicians Sunney CHAN and Evelyn HU have been elected fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), the academy announced April 19, 2010. They will be inducted at a ceremony on October 9, 2010 at the academy’s headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This year 229 prominent figures in the fields of sciences, social sciences, the humanities, the arts, business and public affairs have been elected members or foreign honorary members of the AAAS. Academicians CHAN and HU were both elected for their distinguished contributions to the sciences.
Academician CHAN’s research focuses on physical biochemistry, the structure and function of membrane proteins, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, bioinorganic chemistry, protein folding and bioenergetics. He is currently a Distinguished Visiting Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry at Academia Sinica and Distinguished Chair Professor at National Taiwan University. He was elected an Academician of Academia Sinica in 1988 and served as Vice President of Academia Sinica between 1999 and 2003. He was also the George Grant Hoag Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at California Institute of Technology between 1992 and 2001.
Academician HU’s research focuses on microelectronics technology. She was elected to the AAAS for her achievements as “a pioneer in the fabrication of nanoscale electronic and photonic devices”. She is currently the Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering at Harvard University. During her career Academician HU has held distinguished positions, including the California Nanosystems Institute, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Science and Technology Center for Quantized Electronic Structures, the Santa Barbara component of NSF National Nanofabrication Users Network and the Center for Robotic Systems in Microelectronics, all research organizations at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCS
. Academician HU was awarded her Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University in 1975. She was elected an Academician of Academia Sinica in 2004.
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1780. It is an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems. The academy’s current projects focus on science and technology, global security, social policy and American institutions, the humanities and culture and education. It embraces a current membership of 4,000 American Fellows and 600 Foreign Honorary Members. The current elected members include 250 Nobel Prize laureates and 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.
