Award/Recognition Menu

Description

To recognize an individual, nominated not more than 5 years after completion of his or her PhD, and who has already shown outstanding scientific or technical achievements which have been significantly beyond the average performance of a person at that career level.

Prize

A single annual award of $1,500 to a single recipient, plus up to $500 for travel to the award ceremony, and life membership in the IEEE Magnetics Society.

Funding

Funded by the IEEE Magnetics Society through an existing endowment administered by the IEEE Foundation which should be sufficient to fund in perpetuity. If these funds are not sufficient, the IEEE Magnetics Society will directly fund the difference.

Presentation

At the INTERMAG conference during the Plenary Session in the year following the selection of the awardee.

Historical Background

Established in 2016

Basis for Judging

The selection committee, a subcommittee of the Honors and Awards Committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society, evaluates the candidates regarding their scientific achievements with respect to a field represented by the IEEE Magnetics Society. It discusses for each candidate whether the contribution is significant and merits consideration for the award. Discussion and decision can be made by a conference call or email.

Eligibility

Members of the IEEE Magnetics Society are eligible
