Glazebrook Medal
The Glazebrook Medal is an award for applied physics of the Institute of Physics and the Physical Society, which is named after Richard Glazebrook (1854-1935) ( lecturer in physics and mathematics in Cambridge, from 1899 first director of the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, editor the Dictionary of Applied Physics and Fellow of the Royal Society). It has been awarded since 1966 and is one of the gold medals of the IOP (alongside the Faraday Medal (IOP) , the Dirac Medal (IOP) and, since 2008, the Swan Medal for applications of physics in industry).
