 Carl E. Baum Medal

  List of Carl E. Baum Medal Winners

In 2016 Dr. Sholapurwala approached Dr. Dave Giri to initiate the concept of the Carl E. Baum Medal to be awarded to persons for their long-standing accomplishments in the field of Applied Electromagnetics. Dr. Giri approached the Board of Directors of the Summa Foundation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and the Summa Board agreed with the idea of this award. Further Drs. Sholapurwala and Giri, donated $1,000 each to Summa Foundation to facilitate this award. Twenty-five medals were produced and provided to the Summa Foundation.

It was decided that the Summa Board of Directors would select the medal awardees each year and could choose any number between 0 and 4. In the inaugural year (2017) 4 initial awards were made to Drs. David Giri, Kelvin Lee, William Radasky, and Fred Tesche. In 2018 two additional awards were presented to Dr. Mat Bäckström and Bill Prather. The list below will be updated as additional persons are honored.
