Congratulations to our co-founding HPCAT member and distinguished high-pressure research scientist, Professor Choong-Shik Yoo from Washington State University, on his prestigious selection for the 2024 American Physical Society Fellowship in the Topical Group on Compression of Condensed Matter.

Professor Yoo is being recognized for his seminal contributions to understanding the response of condensed matter under extreme conditions, including the development of innovative high-pressure capabilities and novel experiments using optical and X-ray measurements. He has also played a vital role in mentoring future generations of scientists.

As a founding member of HPCAT since ~1999 while at LLNL, Professor Yoo has been a long-time partner in our community. His longstanding commitment and contributions to HPCAT and the broader field of high-pressure research make this recognition especially well-deserved.
