Previous recipients
|
2021 |
Zhenan Jiang for global leadership in measuring and modelling the response of superconductors, leading to cost-effective superconducting machines. |
|
2019 |
Don Cleland for his outstanding research which has provided performance prediction methodologies used by practitioners worldwide to optimise the design and operation of refrigeration technologies. |
|
2017 |
Kim Pickering for her development of composite materials that are more sustainable. Many composite materials are not biodegradable or recyclable, but she has used more sustainable materials as fibres for reinforcing, for example hemp, wood and harakeke or New Zealand flax. |
|
2017 |
Ian Woodhead for advancing electronic engineering, particularly in developing sensors for the agricultural and environmental sectors, including an electric fence performance sensor, and an electronic soil moisture sensor that allows for more efficient irrigation systems. |
