Kessler, Greenwood Publishing Group, 1996. ISBN 0897749553〕 Reed earned his Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska, was a professor of physics at Morehouse College, in Atlanta, Georgia and is known for his work related to ionization and atomic collisions in high temperature plasmas. He has published more than 100 papers.〔 Demonstrating a commitment to improving the participation of minority and female students in the physical sciences, Dr. Reed has helped more than 100 such students to earn their doctorates and, through the NPSC consortium, awarded over 300 graduate fellowships.〔Nomination for Presidential Award for Excellence in Scientific Mentoring ()〕 ==Awards== In 2003, Professor Reed received the American Physical Society’s John Wheatley Award.〔(APS 2003 John Wheatley Award Recipient )〕 He was the recipient of the 2009 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring and is a fellow of the American Physical Society from President Barack Obama.〔(ICSU Executive board ) Retrieved October 18, 2015〕 In 2011, he was awarded the distinction of being elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.〔(Lawrence Livermore's Kennedy Reed elected AAAS fellow )〕 He currently chairs the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Commission on Physics for Development, a worldwide organization with 60 member countries and 20 commissions that fosters international cooperation in physics helps improve the conditions of physics and physicists in developing regions of the world. He also serves on the National Academy of Sciences Board on International Scientific Organizations〔(National Academies Board Membership and Staff ) Retrieved October 18, 2015〕 and is a charter fellow and previous president of the National Society of Black Physicists.〔Black Issues in Higher Education, Volume 18, Issues 15-19, Cox, Matthews & Associates, Incorporated, University of Virginia, 2001〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kennedy J.
