| | The award recognizes Ren for "creating a world-leading high-energy x-ray diffraction (HE-XRD) beamline and user program for comprehensive atomic structure studies of condensed matter." It was noted in the nomination that the success of the HE-XRD instrument at 11-ID-C "would not have been possible without Dr. Ren’s dedication to establishing, fostering, and guiding his user community." | ![Ren](/sites/www.aps.anl.gov/files/APS-Uploads/UO/Ren_photo_BODY.jpeg) |
| | Exceptional science in the area of synchrotron radiation studies of complex oxide heterostructures and outstanding dedication to the user community. | ![](/sites/default/files/APS-Uploads/18_4_13-Hua%20Zhou_DSC_8348.jpg) |
| | Leadership and innovations in nanomaterials and contributions to x-ray scattering including theory, application, and development of analytical methods and state-of-the-art instrumentation. | ![](/sites/default/files/APS-Uploads/17_5_2_Lee_DSC_7421crop.jpeg) |
| | Pioneering work in x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and x-ray resonant magnetic scattering using the hard x-rays at the APS. |
