IEEE Nikola Tesla Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IEEE Nikola Tesla Award is an annual award given to a team or to an individual that has made an outstanding contribution to the generation or utilization of electric power. It is awarded by a Technical Field Awards Council of the IEEE. The award is named in honor of Nikola Tesla. This award may be presented to an individual or a team.
The award was established in 1975, and its first recipient was Leon T. Rosenberg, who was given the award in 1976 "for his half-century of development and design of large steam turbine driven generators and his important contributions to literature." The actual award is a plaque and honorarium.
