Loyola University
Citation: For developing the Brans-Dicke Scalar-tensor gravitational theory alternative to Einstein's general relativity.


Buonanno, Alessandra [2011]
University of Maryland, College Park
Citation: For revolutionizing our understanding of quantum optical noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors (with Chen), creating the EOB approach to 2-body dynamics (with Damour), and leading the creation of template families for searches for gravitational waves from compact binaries.


Cutler, Curt [2011]
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
