y J. Snaith named 2014 MRS Outstanding Young Investigator for perovskite hybrid solar cells
H
enry J. Snaith of the University of Oxford has been named the 2014 Materials Research Society (MRS) Outstanding Young Investigator. Snaith was cited for “innovation and development of solid state dye sensitized solar cells and for his groundbreaking work in perovskite hybrid solar cells.” He will present his award talk at the 2014 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco on April 24 at 12:45 p.m. in Salon 7 of the Marriott Marquis.
During his research at the University of Cambridge, Snaith demonstrated growth of dye-sensitized solar cells from perfectly organized nanoporous titanium dioxide, formed by templated growth onto a self-organized diblock copolymer. Since then, his achievements include the first demonstration of “gyroid” structured titania for dye solar cells, the first demonstration of mesoporous single crystals of anatase TiO2, and the recent discovery of high-efficiency solid-state
nanopipettes for single cell studies and nanodiamonds for drug delivery applications. He received his MS (1984) and PhD (1986) degrees from Kiev Polytechnic and a DSc degree from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in 1995. Among Gogotsi’s numerous awards and honors are a European Carbon Association Award, Chang Jiang Scholar Award from the Chinese Ministry of Education, S. Somiya Award from the International Union of Materials Research Societies, and two R&D 100 Awards from R&D Magazine. He is a Fellow of MRS, The American Ceramic Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and The Electrochemical Society. Gogotsi has authored/ co-authored two books, more than 380 peer-reviewed papers, edited 13 books, and obtained more than 40 patents.
