2017 Radiation Effects Award

Ronald L. Pease, RLP Associates, received the 2017 IEEE/NPSS Radiation Effects
Award. His citation was “for contributions to testing, analysis, and modeling of
radiation effects on semiconductor devices and circuits and to the understanding of
the underlying physics and engineering.”

2018 Radiation Effects Award

The winner of the 2018 Radiation Effects Award will be announced Tuesday morning, July 17. The purpose of the 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.

Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2018 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Radiation Effects Award. 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.

A cash award and plaque will be presented at the 2018 IEEE NSREC, Kona, Hawaii in July 2018. Nomination forms are available electronically in PDF Format or in Microsoft Word format at http://ieee-npss.org/technical-committees/radiationeffects/. Forms should be sent to Tom Turflinger, Member-at-Large for the Radiation Effects Steering Group. Tom can be contacted at: The Aerospace Corporation, 14301 Sullyfield Circle, Unit C CH3-310, Chantilly, VA 20151; 571-307-3715 or thomas.l.turflinger@aero.org
