CONFERENCE AWARDS
One of the highlights of the symposium is the Conference Awards Banquet where individuals are recognized for their contributions to EML technology. Nominations are solicited for the Harry D. Fair Award, Peter Mark Medal and the Peter J. Kemmey Student Memorial Scholarship.
HARRY FAIR AWARD
The Harry Fair Award recognizes outstanding contributions to EML technology resulting from an individual's continued effort to develop programs of research, education, and information exchange that are the basis for progress in electromagnetic launch. The Harry Fair Award was announced at the 15th IEEE International Symposium on EML Technology in Brussels, Belgium (May 2010) and bears the name of Dr. Harry D. Fair who has been the leading U.S. and international proponent for this technology since 1979, having demonstrated sound management, steadfast conviction, and farsighted technical acumen. Today, the Harry Fair Award honors those individuals that share his dedication, leadership, and administrative vision for EML technology.
PETER MARK MEDAL
The Peter Mark Medal for Outstanding Contribution to EML Technology is named in honor of the late Professor Peter Mark whose enthusiasm, intelligence and vision contributed to the initiation of the U.S. program on electromagnetic technology. The purpose of this award is to recognize an individual’s continuing outstanding technical and educational contributions to EML technology.
PETER J. KEMMEY MEMORIAL STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
Congratulations to the 2012 Peter Kemmey Memorial Student Scholarship Recipients: Mrunal Parekh and Peizhu Liu
Mrunal G
Parekh is
a native of Bharuch, India. He received B.E. degree from the University of veer
narmad south Gujarat and M.Tech degree from VJTI (Veermata Jijabai
technological Institute), Mumbai both in electrical engineering.
His current research is focused on Applied Electromagnetics, arc studies, Pulsed Electrical breakdown studies. He has great influence and inclination towards the area of Electromagnetics. He has awarded with Best Student Award twice during his masters. Towards his master’s thesis he was working on high pressure spark gap peaking switch. Generation of subnano second pulses is the fundamental step of the electromagnetic launch (EML) systems. So the Electromagnetic modelling of the spark gap peaking switch is explored in his paper “Electromagnetic modelling of spark gap peaking switch.” During his Masters he presented some papers in international conferences like “arc modelling in circuit breaker” at the IEEMA (international electrical & electronics manufacturing association) and “modelling and analysis of high voltage peaking switch” at the AIRPT-23 conference on high pressure systems.
During his M.Tech he was selected as an R&D Engineer at ERDA (Electrical Research and Development Association) Vadodara, India.
