Fichthorn named to APS editorial board

Kristen Fichthorn, the Merrell R. Fenske professor in chemical engineering, was appointed to the editorial board of Physical Review B, one of the American Physical Society's (APS) major journals.

Fichthorn's work focuses on applying atomistic simulation techniques, such as Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics and condensed-matter theory to study materials interfaces.

She was elected an APS fellow in the group's condensed matter physics division in November. Fichthorn is also a professor of physics in the Eberly College of Science.
