2020 Radiation Effects Award

Philippe Calvel received the 2020 IEEE/NPSS Radiation Effects Award. His citation was “for leadership in the development of the RADECS Association, in the development of strong links between RADECS and IEEE/NPSS and the growth and federation of the Radiation Effects Community”.

2020 Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award

Cédric Virmontois received the 2020 Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award. His citation was “for contributions to the understanding of radiation effects on solid-state image sensors, particularly the origins of radiation-induced dark current random telegraph signals”.

2021 Radiation Effects Award & Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award

The winners of the 2021 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Radiation Effects Award and the 2021 Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award will be announced Monday morning, July 19 at our Virtual 2021 NSREC. Cash awards and plaques will be presented at that time.

Radiation Effects Award: The purpose of the Radiation Effects Award is to recognize individuals who have had a sustained history of outstanding and innovative technical and/or leadership contributions to the radiation effects community. The basis of the award is for individuals who have: (1) a substantial, long-term history of technical contributions that have had major impact on the radiation effects community. Examples include benchmark work that initiated major research and development activities or a major body of work that provided a solution to a widely recognized problem in radiation effects; and/or (2) a demonstrated long-term history of outstanding and innovative leadership contributions in support of the radiation effects community. Examples include initiation or development of innovative approaches for promoting cooperation and exchange of technical information or outstanding leadership in support of the professional development of the members of the radiation effects community.

Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award: The purpose of the Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award is to recognize an individual early in his or her career whose technical contributions and leadership have had a significant impact on the field of radiation effects. The basis of the award is for individuals whose technical contributions and leadership during the first ten years of the recipient’s career that have had a major impact on the Radiation Effects Community. Examples include work that provides a solution to important technical problems in radiation effects or work that identifies significant new issues in the field. Other factors are cumulative research contributions over the first part of the career, internationally recognized leadership, and mentorship. It is the intent of the RESG to give special consideration for this award to members of the community who are IEEE/NPSS members.
