MRS invites nominations for awards program mrs.org/awards
T
he Materials Research Society (MRS) is seeking nominations for the Von Hippel Award, the David Turnbull Lectureship, the MRS Medal, the Materials Theory Award, the MRS Nelson “Buck” Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy, The Kavli Foundation Early Career Lectureship in Materials Science, and the MRS Postdoctoral Award. The nomination site is open March 1–April 1, 2020. These awards will be presented at the 2020 MRS Fall Meeting, November 29–December 4, in Boston. The MRS Awards Program recognizes outstanding contributors to the progress of materials research and their exciting and profound accomplishments. Nomination forms and details about eligibility and nomination criteria are available from the MRS website at mrs.org/awards.
Von Hippel Award acknowledges outstanding interdisciplinary work in materials research The Von Hippel Award, first presented to Arthur R. von Hippel, whose interdisciplinary and pioneering research typified the spirit of the award, is the Society’s highest honor. The Von Hippel Award recipient is recognized for brilliance and originality of intellect, combined with vision that transcends the boundaries of conventional scientific disciplines. The award includes a $10,000 cash prize, honorary membership in MRS, and a unique trophy—a mounted ruby laser crystal, symbolizing the many faceted nature of materials research. Turnbull Lectureship honors the career of an outstanding researcher and communicator The David Turnbull Lectureship recognizes the career of a scientist who has made outstanding contributions to understanding materials phenomena and properties through research, writing, and lecturing, as exemplified by the life work of David Turnbull. While honoring the accomplishments of the recipient, the Turnbull Lectureship is intended to support and enrich the materials research community. The recipient will give a technical lecture of broad appeal at a designated session of the 2020 MRS Fall Meeting. The Turnbull Lecturer will receive a $5,000 honorarium and a citation plaque.
MRS Medal recognizes a recent discovery or advancement in materials science The MRS Medal recognizes an exceptional achievement by an individual in materials research. The Medal is awarded for a specific outstanding recent discovery (approximately in the last 10 years) or advancement that is expected to have a major impact on the progress of any materials-related field. The award consists of a $5,000 cash prize, an engraved and mounted medal, and a citation certificate. Materials Theory Award honors advances made in materials structure and behavior The Materials Theory Award recognizes exceptional advances made by materials theory to the fundamental understanding of the structure and behavior of materials. This award is intended to honor both those who have pioneered the development of a new theoretical approach and those who have used existing approaches to provide significant new insight into materials behavior.
