    , research, and service. Their peers have nominated and selected the recipients, signifying their high regard among those who know them well. Underwood’s scholarship stands at the forefront of theoretical physics, seamlessly navigating the intersections of Einstein’s general relativity, cosmology, high-energy physics, string theory, and loop quantum gravity. His outstanding achievements are reflected in his 28 refereed publications since 2006 and in the recognition earned through three invitations to
