Awards and Fellows

This award is named for Gustav Robert Kirchhoff, a physicist who made important contributions to the theory of circuits using topology and to elasticity. Kirchhoff’s laws allow calculation of currents, voltages and resistances of electrical circuits extending the work of Ohm. His work on black body radiation was fundamental in the development of quantum theory.

This award is given for outstanding contributions to the fundamentals of any aspect of electronic circuits and systems that has a long-term significance or impact.

It may be awarded to an individual or multiple recipients where all members of the group could be judged to have made a crucial contribution(s) to the overall outcome.

In the evaluation process, the following criteria are considered: impact, perceived long term and fundamental nature of the contribution, originality, publication of significant and profound new and non-obvious result, an approach in a subject area which relates to the circuits and systems, but which has broader impact across other aspects of Electrical or Electronics Engineering, patents, starting a company based on a fundamental contribution, and the quality of the nomination.

Recipient selection is administered by the IEEE Technical Field Awards Council through the IEEE Awards Board.

Prize items include a bronze medal, certificate, and honorarium.
