Professor Ian Gilmore, NPL Senior Fellow and visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham, has been awarded the IUVSTA Prize for Technology for pioneering advances in vacuum instrumentation enabling innovative multidisciplinary research and development. The prize is the highest prize given by the Union and is only given every three years.
IUVSTA is an international federation of thirty national vacuum organisations. It represents nearly 15,000 physicists, chemists, materials scientists, engineers and technologists who are active in basic and applied research, development, manufacturing, sales and education. The IUVSTA Prize for Technology recognises and encourages outstanding internationally-acclaimed achievements in technology and instrumentation.
The award will be presented at the International Vacuum Congress in Sapporo, Japan where Professor Gilmore will present an honorary plenary lecture.
On receiving this award, Professor Gilmore said: “It is a great honour to be awarded this prestigious prize. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my colleagues at NPL and collaborators around the world for all their support and camaraderie over the years. I am looking forward to pushing the technology limits for sensitivity and spatial resolution over the next decade and to improve reproducibility.”
