IRMMW-THz Society Exceptional Service Award

Current Winner

 

2019

Professor Martin Koch

Philipps-Universitat Marburg, Marburg, Germany

In 2010 the IRMMW-THz Society Board voted to institute an annual award honoring Exceptional Service to the Society and the IRMMW-THz Community at large. This award recognizes a single individual who has contributed continuously, and over a long period of time, to the goals of the IRMMW-THz Society and to the expansion of influence and organization of our technical community.

The prize consists of a certificate, a compendium of all past IRMMW-THz conference brochures, and a waiver of the registration fee for attendance at the conference for the year in which the award is given.

 

Nominations are open to anyone from the IRMMW-THz community. Winners are selected by vote of the IRMMW-THz International Organizing Committee at the conference which precedes the award. Nominations are open two months prior to the conference, and consist of a nominee name and affiliation and short write up describing the relevant contributions that would warrant receipt of the award (no CV's or paper lists, please, this is a Community Service award).

Nominations should be sent to the IRMMW-THz General Secretary: Peter H. Siegel, phs[at]phscaltech.edu

Winners will be announced at the IRMMW-THz Conference Banquet each year.
