Professional Awards
The 2010 IEEE International Power Modulator and High Voltage Conference has three professional awards:
The Kenneth J. Germeshausen Award, The William G. Dunbar Award, and The Sol Schneider Award.
The nomination package for all three awards includes:
A letter of nomination and a description of the nominee's accomplishments, current curriculum vitae, and at least two letters of reference from colleagues who are familiar with the nominee's accomplishments and contributions.
Award recipients will receive a plaque stating the award, a monetary award of $1,000, and recognition at the conference banquet.
Please submit nomination packages no later than March 19, 2012, to the Professional Awards Chair, Dr. Steve Calico at steve.e.calico@lmco.com
The Kenneth J. Germeshausen Award:
The Germeshausen Award was established in 1990, at the 19th Power Modulator Symposium. It is named after Kenneth J. Germeshausen, in honor of his pioneering work on power modulators for radar, and for innovation leading to high voltage thyratrons, and for his technical leadership in the field of power modulator technology. The award recognizes outstanding contributions in the science and technology of power modulators and related repetitive pulse power.

The William G. Dunbar Award:
The William G. Dunbar Award was first established at the 1982 High Voltage Workshop as the "High Voltage Award", and was renamed in 2002 to commemorate William G. Dunbar's lifetime of contributions to high voltage technology and his leadership in the High Voltage Workshops. The Dunbar Award is intended to recognize individuals for continuing contributions to high voltage research, development, or testing technology and for transferring that technology to the engineering and scientific community.
