Prize and Awards
We have following AAPPS-DPP prize and awards
in 2019.
1. 2019 S. Chandrasekhar Prize of Plasma
Physics:
 |
 |
Professor
Liu Chen |
Professor
Kazunari Shaibata |
| Liu Chen：For his pioneering and seminal theoretical contributions to physics of
both magnetic fusion and space plasmas; including, notably, geomagnetic
pulsation theory, nonlinear gyrokinetic theory, Alfvén wave heating and
kinetic Alfvén waves, toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes, "fishbone"
and energetic particle modes, and excitation of zonal flow in toroidal
plasmas. |
Kazunari Shibata: For his pioneering and seminal contributions in
solar and astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), including the first
non-steady MHD numerical simulations of astrophysical jets from magnetic
accretion disks, the discovery of coronal X-ray jets and chromospheric anemone
jets in the solar atmosphere and theories and numerical simulations for solar
jets and mass ejections based on the MHD reconnection mechanism, his pioneering
proposal of plasmoid-induced-reconnection and fractal reconnection, and his
suggestion that superflares, observed on Sun-like stars, may also occur on the
Sun. |
2. 2019 AAPPS-DPP Innovation Prize
Professor
Roderick W. Boswell
|
Roderick William Boswell: “For wide-ranging contributions to fundamental plasma physics and applications
to terrestrial and space industries, in particular for discovery and invention
of high-density low pressure radiofrequency plasma source called a ’helicon
plasma source’, with broad and significant impact on low-temperature plasma
physics, plasma processing for microelectronics represented by plasma etching
and focused ion beam source, and plasma thrusters, in which he exerted
leadership to pioneer new scientific research fields and industrial applications.”
