For significant and sustained contribution in the field of small scale applications of superconductivity, in particular:
for directing the superconducting digital effort at Fujitsu Laboratories in the 1980s which developed a whole wafer process capable of fabricating fully functional niobium chips with Josephson junction densities greater than 20,0000,
for fabricating and testing a superconducting microprocessor with a critical path capable of operating at frequencies more than 10 times faster than a comparable GaAs circuit, which was then state of the art, and
in recent years, for directing the superconducting digital effort at the International Superconductivity Technology Center (ISTEC) in Japan
