Research.com Recognitions

• 2012 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
• 2010 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
• 2009 - Henry Draper Medal, United States National Academy of Sciences For his pioneering contributions to gamma ray astronomy. His leadership of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and the Swift Mission has led to new insights into the extreme physics of active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursts
• 1993 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For fundamental observational and theoretical studies in gammaray astronomy, and for the development of new detector technologies for lowbackground gammaray spectroscopy
