THE
IEEE MAX SWERDLOW AWARD FOR
SUSTAINED SERVICE TO
THE APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY COMMUNITY
DESCRIPTION: This Award recognizes sustained service to the
applied superconductivity 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 superconductivity 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 Manger 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 superconductivity 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.
ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility requirements for the Award include sustained
activity in the field of applied superconductivity for a
minimum of about 20 years, irrespective of the field of
discipline or functions performed, to advance or promote
the field of applied superconductivity. Candidates must
be living, but can be retired at the time of the Award.
The recipient is also expected to attend the international
conference at which the Award would be presented.
No individual can receive this award more than one time.
PRIZE: The Award shall consist of the following: (1) a medallion
fabricated from niobium, at least six centimeters in diameter
and suitably engraved; (2) a plaque suitably inscribed;
and, (3) an honorarium of U.S.$5,000.
RECIPIENTS:
- Dr. James Daley
- Mr. Edgar A. Edelsack
- Mr. Yoshihiro Kyotani
- Prof. Moises Levy
- Prof. Horst Rogalla
- Mr. Carl H. Rosner
- Dr. Bruce P. Strauss

THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERS (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 responsibility 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 superconductivity. Early in his professional 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 revenue in excess of 300 million dollars. For his contributions to the field of applied superconductivity, in general, and for the commercialization of superconducting systems, in particular, Mr. Rosner was one of the initial recipients of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity Max Swerdlow Award for Sustained Service to the Applied Superconductivity Community.
PRIZE: The recipient of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity Carl H. Rosner Entrepreneurship Award will receive a suitably inscribed plaque and an honorarium of 2,500 US dollars.
RECIPIENT:
- Dr. Stuart J. Berkowitz
- Dr. Terry L. Grimm
ELIGIBILITY: The Award will generally be made to an individual, independent of nationality, country of residence, race, gender, or membership in IEEE, who, in early or mid-career, started a new company or who joined an existing small business and assumed principal responsibility for the development and eventual commercialization (either in the commercial marketplace, or to the military or scientific communities) of a new and innovative superconducting product or service. At the time of the Award, the recipient would have exercised leadership over his/her company or business activity for a period of time of (approximately) five years and the company or business activity appears to have become a sustaining entity and, has developed or, is deemed to be on the path toward developing a potential commercial product. An individual may receive the IEEE Council on SuperConductivity Carl H. Rosner Entrepreneurship Award only one time.
BASIS OF JUDGING: Nomination for this Award shall be made by submitting a (nominal) two-page letter to the Executive Secretary of the Selection Panel describing the educational background and professional career of the candidate and the accomplishments of the individual in his/her entrepreneurial role that may qualify the nominee for consideration for this Award. The nomination letters shall be submitted no later than 5 PM (local time) on 28 February of the year in which the Award may be presented.
PRESENTATION: This Award will be presented not more than once per calendar year at a suitable international conference on applied superconductivity that is associated with the IEEE Council on SuperConductivity, such as the Applied Superconductivity Conference, or at a time and place designated by the President of the IEEE Council on SuperConductivity. The Award will be made only in those years when the Selection Panel has made a selection.
