In 2009, Guth was awarded the Isaac Newton medal of the Institute of Physics. The honor was granted for "his invention of the inflationary universe model, his recognition that inflation would solve major problems confronting then-standard cosmology, and his calculation, with others, of the spectrum of density fluctuations that gave rise to structure in the universe"1. The medal is joined by 2000 euros and is awarded for "outstanding contributions to physics"2. Guth received the award on October 15th in London, after delivering the Institute of Physics' Isaac Newton Lecture.Several other awards and honors have been presented to Guth. These include the 2004 Cosmology Prize of the Peter Gruber Foundation, the Franklin Medal for Physics of the Franklin Institute, the MIT School of Science Prize for Undergraduate Teaching, and the Dirac Prize of the International Center for Theoretical Physics.

Guth presently resides in New Jersey.
