Tuve Fellows
A part of the Global Visitors Program, the Tuve Senior Fellowship started in 1996 in honor of the late Merle A. Tuve, who served as the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism's director from 1946-1966.
Among his many scientific accomplishments, Tuve supervised the development of the proximity fuze during World War Two and the design of a pressurized Van de Graaff generator, which achieved energies above 4 MeV. In 1942, he served as the founding Director of the Applied Physics Laboratory.
Chosen at the discretion of the director of the Earth and Planets Laboratory, recipients of the Tuve Fellowship are provided housing support and resources during visits to the Earth and Planets Laboratory to work on problems of mutual interest with current staff members. Support for the fellowship program derives from the initial gift of former staff scientist and Acting Director Tom Aldrich with donations from several notable alumni and, most recently, gifts in memory of Erik Hauri.
Each Tuve Fellow presents their findings in a culminating lecture as a part of the Tuve Lecture Series.
