David P. Landau, Distinguished Research Professor of Physics, has been elected as councilor for the Division of Computational Physics of the American Physical Society. He will serve a three-year term on the governing council of the 46,000-member society, a professional organization for physicists in academia, industry and national laboratories in the U.S.
The society publishes the most internationally prestigious journals in physics and organizes annual professional meetings, the last of which recently brought 7,000 scientists together in New Orleans.
