Hyeon Park
UNIST

Citation: Through his original and pioneering works in fusion plasma
diagnostics, the electron cyclotron emission imaging (ECEI) and microwave
imaging reflectometry enabled to visualize magnetohydrodynamic instabilities
and turbulent fluctuations withunprecedented high-resolution, leading to richdiscoveries of novel plasma physics phenomena, for example, in thesawtooth crash process and the edge localized mode events. The plasma
physics research assisted by the advanced imaging diagnostics enhanced thesynergies with numerical modeling and theories, and elevated fusion plasma
research program in Korea. Nowadays the ECEI system is a standard
research tool in majority of toroidal devices.

2020 AAPPS-DPP Plasma Innovation Prize

Masaru Hori
Nagoya University

Citation: For his outstanding contributions to diverse range of appliedand fundamental plasma science and technology using low-temperatureplasmas, in particular, for the carbon film mask technology development
for plasma etching for semiconductor manufacturing technologies; forinvention and commercialization of ultra-compact atomic radicals
measurement equipment and high-density radical source for radical
controlled plasma processing and synthesis for functionalized materials;
and for discoveries related to the use of plasma activated medium/lactic
in plasma medicine for selective killing of various cancer cells
