Rice professor among best under age 40
Doug Natelson, an associate professor of physics and astronomy and in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University, was named one of the nation’s top 20 scientists under age 40 by Discover magazine in its December issue, which hit the newsstands Nov. 11.
The issue on the “Best Brains in Science” singled out 50 scientists who should become celebrities “for making the most important contributions to American science.” Natelson’s research group focuses on the electronic, magnetic and optical properties of nanoscale structures. The Discover article called him “the Benjamin Franklin of the microscopic world.”
Discover also praised Natelson’s popular blog, “Nanoscale Views.” The blog can be found at www.nanoscale.blogspot.com.
Natelson joined the Rice faculty in 2000 as an assistant professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department. He is a graduate of Princeton University and earned his doctorate in physics at Stanford.
