Mildred S. Dresselhaus wins Kavli Prize in Nanoscience

Mildred Dresselhaus photoProfessor Mildred S. Dresselhaus has been awarded the 2012 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience “for her pioneering contributions to the study of phonons, electron-phonon interactions, and thermal transport in nanostructures.”

The Kavli Prize is awarded biannually to scientists who have made a seminal contribution to the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience.

Read a selection of Prof. Dresselhaus’ recent articles including her popular Nanoscale review on graphene edges and her review of progress in the field of thermoelectrics in Energy & Environmental Science:
