Alex Dalgarno

Research.com Recognitions

• 2013 - Benjamin Franklin Medal, Franklin Institute
• 2002 - Hughes Medal, Royal Society of London for his contributions to the theory of atomic and molecular process, and in particular its application to astrophysics. His studies of energy depositions provide the key to understanding emissions from terrestrial aurorae, planetary atmospheres and comets
• 2001 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
