UCSD Faculty Members of the National Academy of Sciences

Election to membership in the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer. We take great pride in the fact that many of our faculty [past and present] have been among those elected to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in science and engineering.
