About
Russell Varian

After training with Philo Farnsworth, Russell Varian invented the Klystron in 1937, a novel device for the generation of microwave radiation. Being light enough to be carried in aircraft, the Klystron enabled all-weather radar and played a vital role in WW-II at the battle of Britain and the Battle of the Atlantic. In 1948, Russell and his brother, Sigurd, founded Varian Associates, a pioneering high-tech company in what became Silicon Valley. Besides being a brilliant innovator, Russell Varian was a socialist-leaning libertarian, a member of the ACLU and the Sierra Club. He died in 1959 while scouting Alaska for the setting of a new National Park.

Donations to fund the biennial award at the ENC are considered tax-deductible in the US as the ENC is recognized as a 501(c)3 organization by the IRS.
