For significant and sustained contributions in the development of superconducting materials by advancing the science of both low temperature and high temperature superconducting materials, in particular,
for establishing key synthesis-microstructure-property relationships of the bronze route process used to make the first industrial niobium-tin superconducting wires
for establishing the interdependence of strain and properties of A-15 superconductors for establishing and optimizing the nucleation and growth kinetics of Bi(2223)/Ag and YBCO conductors, and
for contributions to the understanding of ac losses and flux pinning in these materials.
