​PPPL presented its 2015 outstanding research awards to engineer Charles Neumeyer and physicist Rajesh Maingi on 5 October.

Neumeyer received the Kaul Foundation Prize for "the design analysis and overall management of the US contributions to the steady state electric network that will supply power to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ. This culminated in the successful delivery of the first major plant components to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ, establishing procedures for all future shipments of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ components."

This accomplishment was made possible in part by the strong and trusting relationship that was established years ago between Neumeyer and the present members of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ "electricians".

"In this long venture, the human dimension was essential", says Joël Hourtoule, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Electrical Power Distribution section leader.

Maingi received the Distinguished Research Fellow award for "seminal research and program leadership in tokamak boundary and divertor physics."
