Established in 2003, the H. Wade Patterson Memorial Award is presented each year at the annual Health Physics Society meeting to recognize outstanding student presentations on accelerator health physics. The winner receives a check and plaque.
Sherry Adadi received the H. Wade Patterson Memorial award for the paper: "Shielding Study of a Miniature Klystron Emitting 60 keV Electrons". Presenting the award is Marcia Torres (right).
Jordan Hillis received the 2022 H. Wade Patterson Memorial Award at the HPS Meeting in Spokane, Washington, in recognition of her presentation, "Analysis of Relative Hazards and Detection Capabilities for Radionuclides at the Spallation Neutron Source".

The award is a tribute to Lutz Moritz (1943-2008), who was a founding member of the Accelerator Section and served as president of the section in 1996. Lutz's distinguished career at TRIUMF, Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, earned him an international reputation as Canada's foremost expert on accelerator radiation safety. He served on the board of the Canadian Radiation Protection Association and on many international review panels for important accelerator projects, including the Superconducting Super Collider, the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and the ORNL Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. As a dedicated teacher and gifted researcher, Lutz will be remembered not only by those who knew him personally but also by the future generation of health physicists who will receive the Lutz Moritz Memorial Award.
