Award Recipients
In his remarks at the Awards ceremonies throughout his 48 year association with the Award, Dr. Arthur S. Flemming always thanked the honorees for "going the extra mile in service to their country."
The Flemming alumni include many whose names are well-known. To name a few, past award recipients include Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Paul Volcker, Jr., John Chancellor, Neil Armstrong, Mary Elizabeth Hanford (now Elizabeth Dole), Robert Gates, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and William Phillips (Nobel laureate in 1997).
We invite you to read through our complete listing of winners from 1948 to 2006, which is provided below.
2006 Award Recipients
Congratulations to the 2006 Arthur S. Flemming Award recipients.
Administration and Program Management
Major LINDA GUERRERO For her outstanding leadership as Medical Group Administrator at the 314th Medical Group at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Major Guerrero’s accomplishments are clearly visible across the full spectrum of military healthcare. During the past four years of her career she has led the Air Force Tele-radiology Integrated Process Team, which set the future of radiology, developing and employing a real-time solution to mitigate a 50% shortage of radiologists with annual savings of $1.4 million. Additionally, Major Guerrero spearheaded the overhaul of 96 clinical and business staffing models; these models, based on civilian best practices, optimized 36,000 medical positions across 75 medical facilities. Under Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure, she drove the analyses which led the Medical Joint Cross Service Group to six final scenarios, recommending the largest re-structuring of Department of Defense medicine since World War II. It has been Major Guerrero’s passion, coupled with her ability to leverage the talents of others toward a common goal, which has resulted in such a high level of success.

Dr. KENT IRWIN In recognition of his unique achievements as a physicist and project leader in the Quantum Electrical
Metrology Division of the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, in particular in the invention and application of
|
|
Dr. DAVID JACOBSON For his accomplishments and leadership as a physicist in the Ionizing Radiation Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Dr. Jacobson’s work has led to the development
and application of cutting-edge neutron metrology techniques to address key technical barriers to
the development of robust and efficient hydrogen fuel cells. His leading role in developing the world’s most
advanced neutron imaging station to study water transport in fuel cells had required innovative design ideas,

Dr. GREG SPANJERS In recognition of his distinguished accomplishments as Demonstration and Science Experiments Program
Manager, Integrated Experiments and Evaluation Division, Space Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Materiel
Command at Kirkland Air Force Base,New Mexico. In 2006 Dr. Spanjers expertly led a team of 5 government
and over 200 contractor personnel developing a novel flight experiment that will investigate the harmful
effects of space radiation on electronics and materials, and explore a method to reduce the lethal effects of a
high-level nuclear detonation on low earth orbit satellites.When faced with a budget cut, he avoided a potential
program cancellation by skillfully re-base-lining the original $120 million program into two $60 million flight

Dr. MICHAEL MISHCHENKO In recognition of his outstanding and sustained achievements as senior scientist at the Goddard Institute in
New York, a part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland. Dr. Mishchenko’s accomplishments have been in three major areas: aerosol and cloud
remote sensing and particle characterization; radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, oceans, and
particulate surfaces; and aerosol and cloud effects on climate. He has employed his expertise to address a
wide range of major scientific problems, resulting in extraordinary research productivity. Dr. Mishchenko’s

Dr. JAMES “TREY” PORTO For his exceptional achievements as supervisory physicist in the Atom Physics Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Dr. Porto has built a world-class experimental program and research team to attack the problem of quantum processing with neutral atoms. The project started in 2000 with an empty room and vague ideas and, by, 2003 he was leading the effort and had established NIST’s program in neutral atom quantum information as one of the top two in the world; it can be argued that in 2006 he has made it the premier effort. Recently Dr. Porto invented and demonstrated an optical lattice of double wells as a test bed for the elementary operations needed for a neutral atom quantum computer. This is a remarkable breakthrough that has allowed the research effort to demonstrate all the elements of a neutral atom two qubit gate and is serving as a test bed for 1- and 2-qubit operations. With it Dr. Porto has demonstrated the basic elements of quantum computation. In the process he has published several high impact papers, with three new manuscripts prepared in the first three months of 2007. |
