Stony Brook University has announced that Patrick Meade, a professor at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, has been elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). This recognition is awarded to members who have made significant contributions to the field of physics.

Meade's election acknowledges his research and leadership in particle theory and phenomenology. His work includes studies on gauge-mediated supersymmetry, top partners, long-lived particles, Higgs sectors, early universe phase transitions, and potential science capabilities of proposed facilities.

"I’m honored to have my contributions recognized by my peers in the APS," Meade expressed. He also serves as a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. "And to join so many of my excellent colleagues in Physics at Stony Brook who have previously been selected as fellows."

The APS Fellowship is an honor given to no more than one half of one percent of its membership annually. Fellows must be APS members in good standing.

George Sterman, director of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics and distinguished professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, commented on Meade's achievement: “We’re delighted to learn that Patrick Meade has been named an APS Fellow." He added that Meade’s contributions tackle questions about dark matter, elementary particle masses, and early universe evolution. "Internationally, he is a recognized leader in preparations for the next major accelerator facility. At Stony Brook, Patrick is a valued colleague, and a highly effective teacher and mentor.”

Meade joined Stony Brook University's YITP in 2009 after earning his PhD from Cornell University. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University and the Institute for Advanced Study.
