British Royal Society Fellow
Manoa Astronomer Nicholas Kaiser was elected as a fellow to the British Royal Society, one of the 44 new fellows selected this year for their contributions to science, engineering and technology.
The society chose Kaiser because he “is distinguished for initiating and developing several fields of research in large scale structure and cosmology. In each, he has provided highly original theoretical insight and applied these to obtain important observational results.” Kaiser has also “played a central role in turning weak gravitational lensing into a major observational industry and one of the most promising new techniques in cosmology for the next decade.”
The national scientific academy of the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth, the Royal Society is dedicated to promoting excellence in science. A fellowship of the Royal Society is one of the most prestigious honors a British scientist can achieve.
