Craxton R. Stephen Laboratory for Laser Energetics Plasma Physics For numerous original contributions to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion including two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, uniformity modeling in tetrahedral hohlraums, and the ubiquitously used third harmonic conversion of ICF glass laser systems.

Teitel Stephen Lewis University of Rochester DCMP (Condensed Matter) For contributions towards the understanding and numerical modeling of critical phenomena in Josephson junction arrays and high-temperature superconductors.

Thomas John H. University of Rochester Astrophysics For major contributions to solar magnetohydrodynamics.

Walmsley Ian A. University of Rochester Laser Science For contributions to methods for quantum state measurement in matter and the characterization of wave fields in general.
