Professor Emanuela Del Gado named a 2025 AAAS Fellow

Prof. Emanuela Del Gado has been named a 2025 American Association for the Advancement of the Sciences (AAAS) Fellow. In her research, Prof. Del Gado uses computer simulations, statistical analysis and theory to investigate how soft materials can flow, fracture and adapt, starting from their microscopic components. The citation for the honor recognizes Prof. Del Gado “for distinguished contributions to the field of soft materials focused on gels, glasses and other soft amorphous solids using computational statistical physics.”

The AAAS is one of the world’s largest general scientific societies and publisher of the Science family of journals. Each year, AAAS Fellows are selected for their achievements across disciplines that include research, teaching, administration in academia and communicating and interpreting science to the public.

Two other professors in Georgetown’s Department of Physics, James Freericks and Kai Liu, have been previously honored as AAAS Fellows.
