The three ATPC Awards: the “Lifetime Achievement Award,” “Significant Contribution Award,” and “Young Scientist Award,” were established in 2010 as a part of the 9th Asian Thermophysical Properties Conference in Beijing (ATPC2010). Since then, the awards have been bestowed triennially to recognize outstanding contributions worthy of each award category.

ATPC Lifetime Achievement Award

The Lifetime Achievement Award is introduced exceptionally to honor outstanding scientific work in any field of research on thermophysical properties. The Award is provided to a professional thermophysical scientist who has made significant contributions, and achieved exceptional accomplishments to Asian Thermophysical Properties Research and been recognized by the academia.

Nominations by International Organizing Committee (IOC) members of ATPC are invited for the Award in recognition of well-defined achievements in Asian thermophysical properties research over a long period of activity. Each nomination should be accompanied by a brief biography, a list of significant publications, a description of professional achievements in thermophysics, and one or two letter(s) of recommendation from influential members of the international thermophysics community detailing the specific reasons for the nomination.

Deadline

Nominations by IOC members are open starting 1 June 2022 and will close on 31 July 2022. Late submissions and incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Please submit applications to atpc2022-awards(at)grp.tohoku.ac.jp.
*(at) should be replaced with @.

Award Ceremony

We suggest that the conference consider giving the Award every three years at the award ceremony by the local organizing committee of ATPC. The Lifetime Achievement Award recipients shall be bestowed the honorary certificates.

Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients:

2010 Bu-Xuan Wang (Tsinghua Univ., China)
2016 Akira Nagashima (Keio Univ., Japan)
2019 Sir William A. Wakeham (UK)

ATPC Significant Contribution Award

The ATPC2022 Organizing Committee expects to introduce the Significant Contribution Award to encourage academic research and enhance academic qualities of Asian Thermophysical Properties Research. The Award is provided to a professional thermophysical scientist who has made significant contributions or achieved outstanding accomplishments to Asian Thermophysical Properties Research and been recognized by academia.

Evaluation Process

The Award is open to those engaged in research activities that emphasize thermophysical properties. Candidates are expected to be employed at higher education institutions or scientific establishments. Candidates are put forth by nomination from the International Organizing Committee (IOC) of ATPC members with nominating letters to demonstrate the breadth of the nominee’s contributions. Nominations from each country are required to be no more than two individuals. In addition to the nominating letter, a curriculum vitae must be submitted for nominees so that the committee will have some way of knowing how that individual meets the criteria.

Who Selects the Awardee(s)?

IOC appoints the chairperson of the Award Committee. The Award Committee reports the names and documents of the candidates to IOC one month before the conference by e-mail. The Award decision at IOC is made by e-mail voting.
