For continuing and significant contributions in the field of superconducting materials research, in particular,
for the development of techniques for quantitative digital imaging of defects, flux-pinning sites and chemical composition gradients in niobium-titanium and niobium-3-tin superconductors at all relevant length scales from the atomic to the macroscopic that have enabled significant improvements of their critical current characteristics, and thus enabling conductors to realize the benchmark values of critical current density required for many emerging applications.
