The Nobel Prizes generally go to people who make breakthroughs in areas of pure science. Dean takes a lot of technology and makes good products from them. He also makes improvements in existing technology. But has he really made any breakthroughs that open completely new doors into our understanding of the universe? Not that I know of. That doesn't mean I respect the man any less just that he works in a different area then they give out Nobel Prizes for. He wins a lot of awards in areas he does work so it is not like he is ignored either.
