We have following AAPPS-DPP prize and awards in 2020.

1.  2020 S. Chandrasekhar Prize of Plasma Physics:

Professor Heyon Park

　
Citation： Through his original and pioneering works in fusion plasma diagnostics, the electron cyclotron emission imaging (ECEI) and microwave imaging reflectometry enabled to visualize magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and turbulent fluctuations withunprecedented high-resolution, leading to rich discoveries of novel plasma physics phenomena, for example, in the sawtooth crash process and the edge localized mode events. The plasma physics research assisted by the advanced imaging diagnostics enhanced the synergies with numerical modeling and theories, and elevated fusion plasma research program in Korea. Nowadays the ECEI system is a standard research tool in majority of toroidal devices.
