In selecting Dr. Dunne, the FPA Board recognizes his many technical contributions to high energy density physics and laser facility design and operations, both in the UK and in the US, and also the leadership he has been providing at LLNL to the LIFE project.

Fusion Power Associates Excellence in Fusion Engineering Awards, established in 1987 in memory of MIT professor David J. Rose, have been given annually since that time to individuals who have shown both technical accomplishment and the potential to become exceptionally influential leaders in the fusion field.
