They are exceptional candidates. The remaining 2 are also very good. I rank Gopinath higher than Ahmad, but both slightly below the rest. EFTA00863279  Of the remaining 3, they are all remarkable..I can see reasons to choose any of them.. Your comments are invited. Here are mine: 1. Liu: discussing one of the most exciting upcoming fields in astronomy.. Clearly very accomplished. Also clearly one of the best teachers ever. 2. Meng Su: Very diverse.. his work on black hole (with his supervisors) garnered him great attention, and he is working on 3 of the most exciting areas and has achieved significant international status in each.. 3. Aaron Englehart: working on the forefront of Origins, an ASU grad now with Szostak (nice, but I worry if we choose him we may be viewed as parochial), interesting lectures and good communicator. I keep shifting in which I prefer.. I think Liu and Englehart are my favorites, but Su is great too. Lawrence M.
