September 2023 David Muller: The 2023 John Cowley Medal winner. The Cowley Medal is the highest award of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy and is only awarded once every 4 years. The medal is awarded in recognition of lifetime achievement to an international leader in the fields of diffraction physics or microscopy. Professor David Muller (PARADIM Director of Electron Microscopy facility) was awarded the The John M Cowley Medal. The award was established to honor the memory of John Maxwell Cowley, esteemed Regents’ Professor and Galvin Professor of Physics at Arizona State University. Cowley was a leader in the field of diffraction, microscopy and crystallography, and he was also the founder of the electron microscopy facility at Arizona State University. |
