Among the recognitions for their work, Saul Perlmutter has received multiple awards including the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2015 for demonstrating that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2011 for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe through observations of distant supernovae.
Additional honors include fellowships with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the American Physical Society (APS), as well as membership in the National Academy of Sciences. The fellowship with APS specifically cites pioneering contributions to cosmology and the development of search techniques that led to the discovery of numerous distant supernovae and evidence for the accelerated cosmic expansion.
