Award/Recognition Menu
$500 for each author, up to a maximum of $2,000 for an awarded paper with multiple authors. If there are more than 4 authors, the total prize of $2,000 will be equally shared between all authors. One plaque will be presented and a certificate will be issued to each of the co-authors.
Funded by the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society
Presented aperiodically at one of the UFFC-S sponsored symposia (i.e., IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium, IEEE Symposium on Application of Ferroelectrics, or IEEE Frequency Control Symposium). The choice of symposium for presentation will be determined by the UFFC-S Awards Chair in agreement with the authors of the selected paper.
Established in 2023.
Selection will be based upon multiple criteria, including long-term and year-over-year impact, novelty, significance, rigor, writing quality, and the paper’s influence in the journal’s served communities.
Authors of full-length original research papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control from at least 5 years ago but no earlier than 10 years ago are eligible. For example, for an award year Y, authors of full-length research papers published in the years between Y-5 and Y-10 are eligible for consideration. The focus of consideration is on full-length original research; review papers, tutorial papers, and research letters are not eligible. It is not requested for authors of eligible papers to be members of IEEE and UFFC-S.
