About the session

The IET Faraday Medal, named after Michael Faraday, was established to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the first Ordinary Meeting of the Society of Telegraph Engineers.

It is the most prestigious of the IET Achievement Medals and is awarded either for notable scientific or industrial achievement in engineering, or for conspicuous service rendered to the advancement of science, engineering and technology, or for lifetime achievement in science, engineering or technology. The medal is global and open to all. Award winners are chosen by the IET Awards and Prizes Committee. The winner will receive a bronze medal and vellum scroll and be invited to sign the Roll of Honour album, a leather bound volume containing the photographs and signatures of all Faraday recipients, and also IET Honorary Fellows, going back through time until the inception of these awards.

    Professor Kees Schouhamer Immink

    In 1979 he was Philips’ lead-engineer in the joint Sony/Philips development of Compact Disc specifications and was also lead-engineer of DVD and Blu-ray disc projects in the 1990s, designing both their codes. He has shaped the fundamental knowledge of constrained codes for storage media, which significantly accelerated the development of data storage technology. His authoritative monograph 'Codes for Mass Data Storage Systems' has seen three English editions, and appeared in Chinese and Japanese translations. His creativity has resulted in more than one thousand patents across the world covering all aspects of data storage technology. The US Consumer Electronics Association estimates that a Western household owns around 9.1 products that use his inventions.
