Awards

The IPRM Award (formerly the Michael Lunn Award)

Nomination for the IPRM award has been closed.

The award winners will be announced at the award ceremony on June 27th.


The Michael Lunn Award was established in 1993 to commemorate a young research scientist at Wafer Technology Ltd. who became a victim of a car accident. Awardees were chosen by the organizing committee of IPRM on behalf of the III-Vs Review magazine. The award was given for the best paper presented at IPRM in the first three years following its introduction (1993-1995). The criteria were subsequently revised in 1996 to recognize individuals who have made "outstanding contributions to the InP community". In 2007, the award was renamed the IPRM Award and has since been sponsored by the IPRM international steering committee.
