INDIVIDUAL: Nomination of Roy Clarke for the PAESMEM for his Commitment to Enhancing Diversity in Underrepresented Minorities and Women in Physics

罗伊·克拉克博士于1987年在密歇根大学开始了应用物理学课程，认识到现有的物理学课程无法满足那些希望在传统物理学界限之外的领域进行研究的学生的需求，其中包括许多来自科学，工程和数学代表性不足的学生。 应用物理学课程很快成为其他研究生课程的变革模式，这些课程致力于提高其群体的多样性，并更有效地利用跨学科环境的优势，这是21世纪世纪大型研究型大学的标志。 在过去的十年里，该计划已经毕业了所有物理学博士学位中的一个重要部分，这些博士学位授予了来自代表性不足的群体的学生。 克拉克博士于2006年获得第一届艾姆斯和摩尔教师奖，以表彰其在指导方面的卓越表现，并于2008年被斯隆基金会评为杰出导师。

Dr, Roy Clarke started the Applied Physics Program at the University of Michigan in 1987 with the recognition that the existing Physics Program was not equipped to address the needs of students who wanted to pursue research in areas outside of the traditional physics boundaries including many students from groups underrepresented in science, engineering and mathematics. The Applied Physics Program soon became a transformative model for other graduate programs that are committed to enhancing the diversity of their cohorts and for more effectively utilizing the benefits of the interdisciplinary environment that is the hallmark of large research universities in the 21st century. The program has graduated a significant fraction of all physics Ph.D.s awarded in the past ten years to students from underrepresented groups. Dr. Clarke was awarded the first Imes and Moore Faculty Award for excellence in mentoring in 2006 and was recognized by the Sloan Foundation as an Outstanding Mentor in 2008.
