The Aneesur Rahman Prize for Computational Physics is a prize that has been awarded annually by the American Physical Society since 1993.[1] The recipient is chosen for "outstanding achievement in computational physics research" and it is the highest award given by the APS for work in computational physics.[2] The prize is named after Aneesur Rahman (1927–1987), pioneer of the molecular dynamics simulation method. The prize was valued at $5,000 from 2007 to 2014, and is currently valued at $10,000.[3]
