The award honors his contributions to research and education as founding president of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST).
A new way to observe this deformation as it happens can help study a wide range of phenomena, from meteor impacts to high-performance ceramics used in armor, as well as how to protect spacecraft from high-speed dust impacts.
