Here I provide a partial listing my various forms of service to the profession. For complete details, please consult my C.V.
DNP: As a member of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society, I have served on most of the DNP committees. I also served a four-year term from 2008 to 2012 in the DNP Chair-Line, moving successively through the positions of Vice-Chair, Chair-Elect, Chair and Past Chair.
APS: I was Program Chair of the April 2012 APS meeting (and Vice-Chair for the April 2011 Meeting). I would like to think there is not a causal connection between this and my subsequent service in 2013-14 on an APS committee tasked with Re-Imagining the April Meeting.
Nuclear Science Long-Range Planning: I have served on every Long-Range Working Group since 1995. The most recent such effort produced Reaching for the Horizon: the 2015 Long-Range Plan for Nuclear Science.
BNL STSC: I am the Chair of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Science and Technology Steering Committee. The committee provides advice to lab management, and reports to the board of the Brookhaven Science Associates.
BPA: Currently, I serve on the National Academies’ Board of Physics and Astronomy .
MPSAC: Currently, I serve on the Mathematics and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee of the National Science Foundation.
