For his seminal contributions to EPR in terms of both world-leading and unique instrument design as well imaginative and expert application of high field EPR to the study of low dimensional systems. His work has opened up new avenues for EPR driven developments including in, but not limited to, the fields of quantum information science and the study of polymetallic transition metal complexes. Crucially, as Director of the Electron Magnetic Resonance user program at the NHMFL he has supported and fostered the international and national EPR communities with unique scientific expertise and admirable dedication.

To be eligible for the Bruker ESR Thesis Prize, the thesis defence (viva voce examination or equivalent) must have taken place within 3 years of the deadline.

Applications should be submitted by the thesis author and must include five elements

• the final corrected thesis as accepted by the awarding institution
• one-page summary of the thesis
• one-page letter of support from the thesis supervisor
• one-page letter of support from one of the examiners (external examiner where possible).
• list of publications directly arising from the work in the thesis. Contributions from all authors should be indicated using CRediT, the Contributor Roles Taxonomy

These documents must be submitted as five separate PDF files. Support letters must include university letterhead.

Theses may be submitted for a maximum of two entry rounds which must be in consecutive years. Theses that were submitted for the Prize in the previous round are eligible if they fall within the dates above; authors of such theses should contact the Secretary but need not resubmit the paperwork.

Applications, in the form of five PDF files (one-page summary of the thesis, the full thesis, supervisor support one-page letter, examiner support one-page letter, publication list with contributions using CRediT) should be uploaded using the online application system. Please ensure that you compress the PDF of the final thesis if necessary to enable upload to the online system and facilitate easy sharing of documents within the assessment team. 

Early career postdoctoral researchers may also be eligible to apply for the JEOL medal. The prize is awarded annually on the basis of a lecture given at the RSC ESR group meeting.
