Professor Alessandra Buonanno has been named a fellow of the American Physical Society “for revolutionalizing our understanding of quantum optical noise in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors (with Chen), creating the effective-one-body (EOB) approach to 2-body dynamics (with Damour), and leading the creation of template families for searches for gravitational waves from compact binaries.” She is a member of the Maryland Center for Fundamental Physics and the Joint Space-Science Institute.
