Professor Boris Shklovskii of the School of Physics and Astronomy and William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute was jointly awarded the Oliver E. Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics. The prize recognizes his "pioneering research in the physics
of disordered materials and hopping conductivity.”

Shklovskii's collaborator Alexei L. Efros as well as Elihu Abrahams were also jointly awarded the prize. They will be presented with the prize at a recognition ceremony at the 2019 meeting of the American Physical Society.
