This Award recognizes sustained service to the applied superconductivity community that has had a lasting influence on the advancement of the technology either through the demonstration of exceptional service to and leadership within the community (significantly beyond only technical direction), the formulation and promotion of major programs in applied superconductivity or through leadership and management roles in major national and international research organizations. The Award is named for the late Max Swerdlow. Starting in the 1960's and continuing for more than 20 years, he served as the Program Manger for Superconductivity at the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). His office funded the majority of the programs in the US on superconducting materials and large-scale applications of superconductivity other than those funded by the Department of Energy. Max Swerdlow's dedication and perseverance in the support of these activities played a crucial role in the maturing of applied superconductivity
List at least three (3) major achievements, in bullet format, that you believe qualifies the Nominee for consideration for this Award: (For examples of format of Award citation, please refer to http://ieeecsc.org/awards and click on “View Award recipients" under any Award.)

5. MOST SIGNIFICANT PUBLICATIONS, PROGRAMS, PRESS RELEASES, AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
Provide a maximum of eight (8) documents that illustrate and document the candidate’s activities (in aspects other than purely technical in nature) to promote and advance the applied superconductivity community and the superconductivity industry. These can be in the form of published articles authored by the candidate, newspaper or popular scientific level articles, books or chapters of books containing biographical information and accounts of professional activities, biographical information from organizational press offices, where the candidate has worked, and from the Internet and other similar media. Please attach electronic copies of these items to the email when submitting the nomination.
Describe how the nominee’s achievements and accomplishments (other than technical in nature) have contributed in a significant fashion to the maturing and advancement of the superconductivity industry and the applied superconductivity community, which justifies the Nominee’s consideration for the IEEE CSC Swerdlow Award. Describe the economic, managerial, and entrepreneurial impact of the Nominee’s contributions to science and technology of applied superconductivity. (600 word maximum)
