Journal of Low Temperature Physics - Nominations are sought for the 2025 Simon Memorial Prize.
The Simon Memorial Prize, established in 1957, commemorates the outstanding contributions to science of Sir Francis Simon. The prize is an international prize with no restrictions on nationality. It is awarded for distinguished work in experimental or theoretical low temperature physics.
Nominations should be sent to the Secretary of the Simon Memorial Prize Selection Panel, Prof. Andrew Armour, andrew.armour@nottingham.ac.uk (this opens in a new tab), by November 15, 2024, together with a supporting statement describing the achievements for which the prize should be awarded. Additional letters supporting the nomination from colleagues with relevant expertise are also welcome and should be submitted together with the nomination. Selection policy is to avoid presenting the prize to previous winners of the Simon Memorial Prize or the Fritz London Memorial Prize.
The prize presentation will take place at the 30th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics (LT30), Bilbao, August 2025.
The most recent winners of the prize are:
Jukka Pekola (2020)
Louis Taillefer (2017)
Peter Wölfle (2014)
Sergey V. Iordanskii and Nikolai B. Kopnin (2011)
Yasunobu Nakamura and Jaw-Shen Tsai (2008)
Grigory Volovik (2004)
Giorgio Frossati (2001)
