For significant and sustained contributions in the field of superconductor digital electronic technology, in particular
for his pioneering work in promoting the use of refractory materials, such as niobium and niobium nitride, for the fabrication of Josephson digital circuits and for promoting large scale integration of Single Flux Quantum circuits using trilayer technology,
for pioneering work in promoting and developing high temperature superconductor Josephson Junction devices and integrated circuits, and
for his leadership role in recent ISTEC programs to mature both low temperature and high temperature superconductor digital circuits and systems.
