Vitaly Vysotsky - 2019 recipient of Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Applied Superconductivity

For continuing and significant contributions in the field of large scale applications of superconductivity, in particular:
• for pioneering experimental and theoretical research of the superconducting cable stability in ac conditions, and proven cable design approaches;
• for development and testing of the world-first hybrid energy transfer systems combining liquid hydrogen and superconducting MgB2 power cable; and,
• for leading production and on-time delivery of the challenging superconducting cables for ITER that met or exceeded all technical requirements.
