      | Back to Faculty News Top Guns of the College of SciencesFaculty Excellence Award - Dr. Larry Weinstein, Professor of Physics Weinstein is a member of his department's experimental nuclear physics group and he does most of his experiments at the Jefferson Lab continuous beam electron accelerator facility (CEBAF) in Newport News, where he chairs the multi-university collaboration group directing the use of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS). His research emphasis is how protons and neutrons (collectively, nucleons) interact to form nuclei. Earlier in the year, he was elected as a fellow by the American Physical Society, which cited his "original contributions to the study of nucleon-nucleon corrections in nuclei."  Outstanding Advisor - Dr. Charles Sukenik, Associate Professor of Physics Sukenik is a member of the atomic and plasma physics group and oversees the Sukenik Group, which includes students and collaborations throughout the world and researches in areas of ultracold atomic and molecular physics. He is a guiding force for the Physics Learning Center, where volunteer faculty and graduate students are available on weekdays to help students with physics homework and problems. Sukenik won the Hirschfeld Faculty Excellence Award in 2004.  Distinguished Teaching Award, Faculty - Dr. Gary Copeland, Professor of Physics Copeland is a member of the atomic and plasma physics (experimental and theoretical) group and his research interests are in atomic, molecular and optical physics. Major applications in these areas are in space physics, environmental monitoring, medical physics and astrophysics. He has authored articles together with a former student, the astrophysicist Phillip Stancil, who is on the faculty at the University of Georgia.  Distinguished Teaching Award, Lecturer - Ms. Jennifer Younkin, Psychology Younkin, who received her master's degree from ODU in 1998, has taught intoduction to psychology, psychology of women, psychology and law, developmental psychology and introductory honors courses.
