He was awarded the status of Fellow[3] in the American Physical Society,[4] after they were nominated by their Division of Plasma Physics in 2007,[5] for fundamental studies of radio-frequency heating and plasma-wall interactions, including the first observation of Alfvén wave heating in a tokamak, the first demonstration of mode-conversion current drive, and pioneering work in the use of liquid lithium as a plasma-facing component.
