Dr. Michael Van Zeeland (C16)
General Atomics, San Diego, Ca. USA

Contributions
" For having, at an early stage in his career, demonstrated excellent
skills in all aspects of experimental work, allowing him to produce important
work on the generation of Alfvén waves, on the diagnosis
of Alfvén instabilities in fusion plasmas, and on the comparison
of Alfvén instabilities with theoretical predictions".
