Edward Teller Medal
This medal is given in recognition of pioneering research and leadership in the use of high intensity drivers (e.g. lasers, ion-particle beams, pulsed power) to produce unique high-density matter for scientific research and to conduct investigations of inertial fusion.
The 2025 awardees of the Edward Teller Medal are:
Hye-Sook Park (LLNL, USA) for her pioneering high-energy density experimental work in high pressure materials science, inertial confinement fusion, and astrophysical collisionless shock generation, the resulting particle acceleration, and magnetic field generation
Siegfried Glenzer (SLAC, USA) for his visionary leadership in advancing critical capabilities enabling ignition at the National Ignition Facility, his pioneering contributions to fundamental scientific understanding, and his transformative impact on mentoring and training the next generation of leaders in High Energy Density Science and Inertial Confinement Fusion
Edouard Fabre Prize
The prize is rewarding active researchers at mid-career (within 15 years of the doctoral degree) working on ICF-related topics.
