The Dielectric Science and Technology Division Thomas D. Callinan Award was established in 1967 to encourage excellence in dielectric investigations, to encourage the preparation of high-quality science and technology papers and patents, to encourage publication in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, and to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of dielectric science and technology. For the purpose of this award, dielectric science and technology is defined as that area of knowledge which deals with the physics and chemistry of dielectric materials, as well as the mechanisms and operation of devices in which electrical energy can be stored or insulated in electrical or electronic equipment.
Nomination Period: March 15 – June 15, annually
Presented: Spring meeting, annually
Recipient qualifications
The recipient will have made outstanding achievement in dielectric science and technology. The award will be given to the author(s) of a paper(s), or patent(s), reporting new advances in dielectrics. The importance and significance of the achievement or contribution will be judged on the basis of the paper(s), or patent(s), in which it is reported. In order to be considered, the written material must show excellence of a high order in science and technology. It is recommended that eligible paper(s), or patent(s) appear in the open literature during the five year period prior to June 1 of the award year.
Unsuccessful nominations will be considered for one additional year.
Award
The award consists of a scroll and a US $1,500 prize. The recipient will be asked to present a lecture to the Dielectric Science and Technology Division at the Society meeting where the award is presented. If required, the recipient will receive financial assistance to facilitate meeting attendance.
