THE IEEE MAX SWERDLOW AWARD FOR SUSTAINED SERVICE TO THE APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY COM-

MUNITY

DESCRIPTION: This Award recognizes sustained service to the applied superconduc-tivity community that has had a lasting influence on the advancement of the technology either through the demonstration of exceptional service to and leadership within the community, the formulation and promotion of major programs in applied superconductiv-ity or through leadership and management roles in major research organizations. The Award is named for the late Max Swerdlow. Starting in the 1960's and continuing for more than 20 years, he served as the Program Manager for Superconductivity at the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). His office funded the majority of the programs in the US on superconducting materials and large-scale applications of super-conductivity other than those funded by the Department of Energy. Max Swerdlow's dedication and perseverance in the support of these activities played a crucial role in the maturing of applied superconductivity.

Previous Recipients: Dr. James Daley, Mr. Edgar A. Edelsack,

Mr. Yoshihiro Kyotani, Prof. Moises Levy, Prof. Horst Rogalla, Mr. Carl H. Rosner,

Dr. David F. Sutter, the late Prof. Shoji Tanaka, Sir Martin Wood and Prof. Luguang Yan

2012 Award Recipient

Bruce P. Strauss


THE IEEE COUNCIL ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY CARL H. ROSNER ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD

DESCRIPTION: This Award recognizes the potential impact of superconductivity on the fields of electrical engineering, physics, medicine and energy by rewarding young entrepreneurs who have established a successful business or had the primary responsibili-ty within a commercial organization to commercialize a device or service based on a property of superconductivity. The award will recognize young entrepreneurs while they are still growing their businesses to encourage others to follow their path.

This award is named for Mr. Carl H. Rosner, whose career is an excellent example of a successful entrepreneur in the commercialization of super-conductivity. Early in his pro-fessional career, Mr. Rosner left the research department of a large industrial company to start a small company, Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC), which focused on the design and manufacturing of superconducting magnets, mostly for the scientific research community. Within five years, the company was viable and self-sustaining. Over the next thirty years, Mr. Rosner grew IGC into a publicly-owned company with annual rev-enue in excess of 300 million dollars. For his contributions to the field of applied super-conductivity, in general, and for the commercialization of superconducting systems, in particular, Mr. Rosner was one of the initial recipients of the IEEE Council on Supercon-ductivity Max Swerdlow Award for Sustained Service to the Applied Super-conductivity Community.

Previous Recipient: Dr. Terry L. Grimm
