Two AFIT alumni (both graduates from the Deparment of Engineering Physics) were inducted as AFRL Fellows on 30 Oct 14 for their exceptional contributions to advancing technologies for the warfighter:

Dr. Kevin Priddy, chief, Avionics Engineering Division, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center
PhD Electro-Optics, 1992 and M.S. Electro-Optics, 1985

Dr. Gregory Vansuch, technical advisor, Systems Technology Office, Sensors Directorate
PhD Engineering Physics, 1997 and M.S. Applied Physics, 1993

AFRL fellow status, the laboratory’s highest award for career contributions, which has only been given to a total of 172 AFRL personnel since the program’s inception in 1987. This represents just 0.2 percent of AFRL’s professional technical personnel. In addition to this high honor, Fellows are awarded a two-year research grant of $300,000.
