The PPC2005 Conference was a great success. Thanks to all who participated! Awards Past Award Recipients | Erwin Marx Award | Peter Haas Award | Pulsed Power Student Award | Make a Nomination Submit your nomination before January 15, 2005 The Pulsed Power Conference honors professional contributions to the field of Pulsed Power with three award presentations: The Erwin Marx Award recognizes outstanding contributions to pulsed power technology by an individual over an extended period of time. We are pleased to announce Leland Schlitt as the 2005 Marx Award winner. The Peter Haas Award recognizes outstanding contributions to pulsed power technology resulting from an individual's continued effort to develop programs of research, education, and information exchange that are the basis for progress in pulsed power. We are pleased to announce Robert Reinovsky as the 2005 Haas Award winner. The Pulsed Power Student Award recognizes outstanding students in pulsed power engineering annually. We are pleased to announce Joshua Leckbee as the 2004 Student Award winner and Michael Butcher as the 2005 Student Award winner. This year we are pleased to announce the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Merit Award is being given to Kenneth Prestwich. All award winners and new IEEE Fellows will be recognized at the Conference Banquet on Wednesday evening, June 15 at the PPC2005 Conference. The Erwin Marx and Peter Haas Awards winners will also be asked to give an address to the Conference. The origin of the Erwin Marx Award and the Pulsed Power Student Award began at the 3rd IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (June 1981). The Erwin Marx Award was dedicated to the memory of Professor Marx and his concept of the Cascade Impulse Voltage Generator that bears his name. Professor Marx passed away on January 11, 1980, just prior to his 87th birthday. The High Voltage Institute of the Technical University of Braunschweig, where Professor Marx conducted his research, has graciously allowed the Pulsed Power Conferences to present the Erwin Marx Award in his name. A brief review of Professor Marx's career is presented in the Proceedings of the 4th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference, Albuquerque, NM, June 6 – 8, 1983, p. 51. The Student Award was initiated by Dr. Alan J. Toepfer to encourage student participation and to recognize outstanding student contributions to pulsed power engineering. The Peter Haas Award was established at the 6th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (June 1987) and bears the name of the late Peter Haas who was recognized at the 2nd Pulse Power Conference (1979) "for many contributions to a strong and vigorous pulsed power program through sound management, steadfast conviction, and farsighted technical acumen." Today, the Peter Haas Award honors those individuals that share Peter's dedication, leadership, and administrative vision for pulsed power. Past Award Recipients
