Prof. Greg Sitz Appointed Blunk Memorial Professorship

By Richard Hazeltine (chair@physics.utexas.edu)

It is a great pleasure to report that our colleague Greg Sitz has been appointed to the 2012–2013 William David Blunk Memorial Professorship. This is a major honor, reserved for faculty who “exhibit creative research, teaching or applied demonstration activities that contribute to changes of positive value to society.”

Prof. Sitz’s appointment is only the second one in Physics; the first, in 1986–87, was given to Prof. Mel Oakes.
