Congratulations Seth & Zhenan!

Professor Seth Marder, Chair of the Materials Horizons Editorial Board, has been internationally recognised by the Materials Research Society as an outstanding member with sustained and distinguished contributions to the field of materials science.  They have recognised his work by honouring him as a Fellow of the Materials Research Society.   Established in 2008, MRS Fellows are expected to demonstrate a dedication to the advancement of materials research and is a lifetime appointment.

Professor Marder (Georgia Institute of Technology) was selected “For seminal contributions to fundamental understanding of the relationships between the chemical structure of organic molecules and their electronic and optical, including nonlinear optical, properties.”  He is currently working on research into organic materials, optical materials, electronics materials and surface modification.

The Materials Horizons Editorial Office would like to extend our personal congratulations to Professor Marder on this outstanding honour and take the opportunity to thank him for the work he does as the Chair of the Materials Horizons Editorial Board.

Mat4Energy

This workshop aims at giving an up-to-date description and review of the different materials and technologies currently being implemented for various energy applications, with a special focus on renewables. It will be organized in three main blocks: materials for energy conversion, materials for energy storage, materials for an efficient use of energy.  The 5 Plenary sessions will cover the fundamentals of each thematic axis.  Related topics such as modeling and characterization will be tackled both through the plenary talks and the lectures.

In addition, the symposium will also provide an overview of the most promising materials being investigated at present.

All participants are invited to present their work in a poster session. The best posters of the conference, regardless of the field, will be awarded by APL Materials, the Royal Society of Chemistry and their new journal Materials Horizons http://bit.ly/1noj1K8
