Klemens Award
The Klemens Prize is awarded every three years at the International Conference on Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter "to honor people who have made longstanding contributions to the field of phonon physics." This tradition originated in 1986, and the name is attributed to the first award recipient in the Phonons Conference Series, Paul G. Klemens, who did pioneering work in thermal conduction and phonon lifetime.
