In March of 1994, the Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America (AESA) Research and Education Committee established an esteemed award to honor outstanding Armenian engineers and scientists worldwide for their exceptional technical achievements. Named after the distinguished scientist Victor Hambartsumyan, who was the inaugural recipient in a ceremony held in Armenia, this award has become a symbol of recognition for excellence in the Armenian scientific community.
