For continuing and significant contributions in the field of large scale applications of superconductivity, in particular:
-
for his contribution to the development of the technology for very high field solenoids, in the early days with Nb3Sn tape and later with REBCO tape;
-
for delivering the first 600 MHz NMR spectrometer magnet, and contributions to the development of clinical magnetic resonance imaging magnets;
-
for originating the Ultra-Wide-Bore 900 MHz NMR spectrometer magnet, which allowed significant advances in NMR science and technology;
-
for his work on understanding the relation between critical temperature and strain in Nb3Sn.
