Belof elected Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences

Jon Belof, a group leader in MSD and a physicist at LLNL since 2010, has been elected a Kavli Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS). As a recently elected fellow, Jon was invited to attend the NAS Frontiers of Science symposium in Irvine, California, the academy’s premiere activity for distinguished young scientists. Here, he presented his research on non-equilibrium physics. Jon joins a select group of five Kavli fellows at LLNL since 1989, of which three work in physics. As of 2019, there are 238 Kavli fellow alumni that have been elected to the NAS (making up 10 percent of the academy’s membership).
