2012 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award
Professor Kannan M. Krishnan receives the 2012 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award for his article “Biomedical Nanomagnetics: A Spin Through Possibilities in Imaging, Diagnostics and Therapy”, IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Vol. 46, No. 7, July 2010, pp. 2523-2558"
The IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award is named in honor of Donald G. Fink, distinguished editor and author, who was a Past President of the IRE, and the first General Manager and Executive Director of the IEEE. The prize is given for the most outstanding survey, review, or tutorial paper published in all the IEEE Transactions, Journals, Magazines, or in the Proceedings of the IEEE between 1 January and 31 December of the preceding year.
2012 Achievement Award
Dr. John Slonczewski receives the 2012 Achievement Award for "for contributions to magnetic devices and storage, including prediction of the spin transfer torque effect in magnetic thin films, theory of magnetotransport and interpretation of magnetic reversal."
Dr. John Slonczewski is a recognized world leader in developing fundamental understanding of magnetic phenomena and applying that understanding to magnetic devices. He is well known for pioneering the current induced spin transfer torque effect, predicting both persistent oscillations and enhanced magnetic reversal phenomena, both of which are intensively studied today in numerous research groups and companies. He has contributed to theories of tunnel magnetoconductance, interlayer coupling, domain walls and bubbles.
2012 IEEE David Sarnoff Award
Professor Hideo Ohno receives the 2012 IEEE David Sarnoff Award. For seminal contributions and leadership in bridging semiconductor electronics with magnetism and spintronics.
The IEEE David Sarnoff Award was established in 1959 through agreement between the RCA Corporation and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and continued by the Board of Directors of the IEEE. The Award is presented to an individual, or team up to three in number, for exceptional contributions to electronics.
