Richard M. Bass Outstanding Young Power Electronics Engineer Award
The Richard M. Bass Outstanding Young Power Electronics Engineer Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the field of power electronics by an engineer less than 35 years of age. Since 1999, it is dedicated to the memory of Richard M. Bass of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA.
The prize consists of a certificate and a cash award of $1,500 USD.
All IEEE members of any grade, active in the field of power electronics and less than 35 years of age on January 1 of the year of the award, are eligible. Candidates are judged for outstanding contributions encompassing a broad range of technical activities including research, innovative product design and application, teaching, and project leadership. The technical disciplines in the field of power electronics include the analysis, design, development, simulation, and practical application of electronic devices, magnetics, controls, and power circuits for inverters, converters, and motor drives ranging in power level from fractions of a watt to megawatts.
The awards submission site is now closed. Submissions for the 2022 Awards cycle will start on 1 January 2022. If you have any questions, please send them to PELS Awards Committee via pels-awards-nomination@ieee.org.
