Recently, the winner of the 2024 Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship was announced as Dr. Raphaële Clément (University of California, Santa Barbara). The annual award was established in 2010 and honors early-career researchers who have made a significant contribution to the field of materials chemistry. After receiving nominations from the global research community, each nomination was assessed with help from the journals’ Editorial and Advisory Boards, with the final selection made by the Editors-in-Chief and Executive Editor.
Dr. Clément will receive £1,000 to cover travel and accommodation costs to attend and present at a leading international meeting, free RSC membership for one year, an invitation to contribute an article to one of the Journal of Materials Chemistry journals, and a complimentary cover for the issue in which the article appears.
We would also like to highlight the two runners-up for the award, Dr. Maxx Arguilla (University of California, Irvine) and Dr. Phillip Milner (Cornell University), who the journals have also recognized for their impressive contributions to materials chemistry.
