Professional Awards

The William G. Dunbar Award was first established at the 1982 High Voltage Workshop as the "High Voltage Award", and was renamed in 2002 to commemorate William G. Dunbar's lifetime of contributions to high voltage technology, and his leadership in the High Voltage Workshops. The Dunbar Award is intended to recognize individuals for continuing contributions to high voltage research, development, or testing technology and for transferring that technology to the engineering and scientific community.

The Germeshausen Award was established in 1990, at the 19th Power Modulator Symposium. It is named after Kenneth J. Germeshausen, in honor of his pioneering work on thyratrons. The award recognizes outstanding contributions in the science and technology of power modulators and related pulse power.

The Sol Schneider Award was established in 2004 as the Power Modulator Conference Service Award to recognize extensive service, contributions and leadership, both technically and administratively, in the power modulator field. The award recognizes both continuing contributions to power modulator research, development, and test technology, as well as the dedication to the advancement of the field through fostering the power modulator community.
