For sustained leadership and exceptional service to the applied superconductivity community, in particular,
for his long term efforts promoting the use of SQUID magnetometry in various application areas especially non-destructive evaluation and biomagnetic imaging,
for organizing and chairing a series of NATO Advanced Study Instituted dealing with superconductivity and applied superconductivity that introduced a large number of current generation researchers to the field, and,
for formulating and directing a very strong programs at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research focused on both large-scale and small-scale applications of superconductivity, involving academic, government and industrial researchers, and in basic research in superconductivity including programs directed at the search for room temperature superconductivity.
