Stefan Westerhoff, University of Wisconsin–Madison physics professor and faculty member at the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC), was recently elected as an American Physical Society Fellow for 2013. Fellowships are awarded for exceptional contributions to physics. In this case, Westerhoff was honored for his work in particle physics, specifically gamma-ray, neutrino, and cosmic-ray experiments.
Within WIPAC, Westerhoff leads cosmic-ray analysis of IceCube data and is the institutional lead for the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory.
