subject was listed by The New York Times as one of the

Will was a Guggenheim Fellow for the academic year 1996–1997.[4] From 2009 to 2018, Will was the

Honors and awards

He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1989 [5] and elected to the National
Academy of Sciences in 2007.[1]
In 2019, Will received the Albert Einstein Medal, awarded each year since 1979 by the Albert Einstein
Society in Bern, Switzerland, for his "important contributions to General Relativity, in particular
including the Post-Newtonian expansions of approximate solutions of the Einstein field equations and
their confrontation with experiments."[6]
