Dr. Jonathan V. Selinger
Selinger鈥檚 research focuses on the theory of liquid crystals, nanoparticle suspensions and related topics in soft materials, and he seeks to make connections between fundamental statistical mechanics and technological applications. He has mentored nine Ph.D. students at 小黄片视频 and authored more than 110 scientific journal articles and a textbook called 鈥淚ntroduction to the Theory of Soft Matter: From Ideal Gases to Liquid Crystals,鈥 which was published by Springer in 2016.

He studied physics at Harvard University, receiving his bachelor鈥檚 degree in 1983, his master鈥檚 in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1989. He then did postdoctoral research in Los Angeles, with positions at the UCLA Department of Physics and Caltech Department of Chemical Engineering. In 1992, he moved to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., where he worked as a research physicist in the Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering. In 2005, he came to his current position at 小黄片视频. In addition to these research and teaching positions, he has also served as associate editor of Physical Review E (2003-2009), responsible for the liquid-crystal section of the journal.

Selinger has also served on 小黄片视频鈥檚 Faculty Senate as well as a variety of boards and committees, including the International Liquid Crystal Society, American Physical Society, Materials Research Society and Sigma Xi, Naval Research Laboratory-Edison Chapter.

At 小黄片视频, Selinger joins Michael Lehman, Ph.D. (Biological Sciences), Marilyn Norconk, Ph.D. (Anthropology), C. Owen Lovejoy, Ph.D. (Anthropology), Paul DiCorleto, Ph.D. (Research and Sponsored Programs) and David Riccio, Ph.D. (Psychological Sciences) as elected AAAS Fellows.

The 2020 AAAS Fellows will be formally announced in the AAAS News and Notes section of the Nov. 27 issue of Science and will be presented with an official certificate and a gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin on Feb. 13, 2021, during a virtual Fellows Forum.

AAAS was founded in 1848 and includes nearly 250 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals. For more information about AAAS, visit .
