White, Secretary, Pulsed Power Engineer, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM The history of the Pulsed Power Conference and the Committee responsible for the organization started with the first conference held in Lubbock, Texas, in 1976. The conference attracted already about 200 attendees. We like to believe that the biennial meeting has since then become the most important forum for the exchange of advances in Pulsed Power Science and Technology and respective applications. The Conference Proceedings constitute a comprehensive record of accomplishments for more than a quarter of a century. Outstanding accomplishments are recognized by prestigious awards since 1981. The Erwin Marx Award was given for the first time at the 3rd Pulsed Power Conference to J. “Charly” Martin. The inaugural Peter Haas Award was presented to Magne “Kris” Kristiansen in 1987. In the same year also the first outstanding student awards were presented. Through 1995 the Pulsed Power Conference was affiliated with IEEE and sponsored by Pulsed Power Conference Inc. Starting in 1997 this private not-for-profit organization then became a Technical Committee in IEEE NPSS. A Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science has followed each Pulsed Power Conference since 1997. Another milestone in our history was joining forces with PSAC and combining the International Conference on Plasma Science and the Pulsed Power Conference for the first Pulsed Power and Plasma Sciences Conference in Las Vegas, NV in 2001 (PPPS-2001) – a meeting which found the interest of more than 1000 attendees. This combined conference has been taking place every 6 years, with PPPS-2007 in Albuquerque, NM; PPPS-2013 in San Francisco, CA; PPPS-2019 in Orlando, FL; and PPPS-2025 to be held in Berlin, Germany. There will be two PPST Committee meetings in 2026. The Spring meeting was held virtually, and the Fall meeting will be held on Monday, Oct. 5 at the San Diego, CA Town & Country Hotel (location of the 2027 PPC-SOFE conference), with a virtual option for attendees to join online. About The Erwin Marx Award: The Erwin Marx Award recognizes outstanding contributions to pulsed power technology by an individual over an extended period of time. The first Erwin Marx Award was presented at the 3rd IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (June 1981). The Erwin Marx Award was dedicated to the memory of Professor Marx and his concept of the Cascade Impulse Voltage Generator that bears his name. Professor Marx passed away on January 11, 1980, just prior to his 87th birthday. The High Voltage Institute of the Technical University of Braunschweig, where Professor Marx conducted his research, has graciously allowed the Pulsed Power Conferences to present the Erwin Marx Award in his name. A brief review of Professor Marx’s career is presented in the Proceedings of the 4th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference, Albuquerque, NM, June 6 – 8, 1983, p. 51. Prize: Funded by the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society’s International Pulsed Power Conference this award consists of $3,000 and a plaque. Eligibility and Basis for Judgement: Individuals who have made outstanding technical contributions to pulsed power technology for at least ten years are eligible for this award. 1. Importance of technical contributions to pulsed power research or development over at least a ten year period. (50%) 2. Importance of technical contributions made by teams led by the candidate. (20%) 3. Quality and significance of publications and patents (20%) 4. Years of technical distinction (10%). The award is in consideration for outstanding technical accomplishments. The nominee is not required to be a member of the NPSS or IEEE but, where candidates have otherwise equal qualifications, preference shall be given to the candidate who is a member of the IEEE.

The Peter Haas Award recognizes outstanding contributions to pulsed power technology resulting from an individual's continued effort to develop programs of research, education, and information exchange that are the basis for progress in pulsed power. The Peter Haas Award was established at the 6th IEEE Pulsed Power Conference (June 1987) and bears the name of the late Peter Haas who was recognized at the 2nd Pulse Power Conference (1979) “for many contributions to a strong and vigorous pulsed power program through sound management, steadfast conviction, and farsighted technical acumen.” Today, the Peter Haas Award honors those individuals that share Peter’s dedication, leadership, and administrative vision for pulsed power. This award is $3,000 and Plaque. Funded by the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society's International Pulsed Power Conference budget. Presented biennially, with presentation in odd numbered years at the IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference Awards Banquet.
