The American Physical Society (APS) has awarded Prof. Lisa Manning the 2018 Maria Goeppert Mayer Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement by a woman physicist in the early years of her career. This recognition, granted to one physicist each year since 1986, includes both a cash award and support for public lectures at up to four institutions. Prof. Manning is also invited to present her work at the national APS March Meeting in 2018. The citation notes that the award is “for her use of computational and analytical tools to develop microscopic understanding of flow in disordered materials, ranging from metallic glasses to biological tissues.”
