Dick Furnstahl is awarded the 2025 Herman Feshbach Prize in Theoretical
Nuclear Physics "For foundational contributions to calculations of nuclei, including applying the Similarity Renormalization Group to the nuclear force, grounding nuclear density functional theory in those forces, and using Bayesian methods to quantify the uncertainties in effective field theory predictions of nuclear observables."
