Prof. van Bokhoven's publication a runner-up for Science's 2018 Breakthrough of the Year
Prof. van Bokhoven's publication on how fast electron crystallography can fundamentally change the way of atomic structure determination of small molecules is a runner-up for Science's 2018 Breakthrough of the Year!
Prof. Pérez-Ramírez new Editor-in-Chief of Catalysis Science & Technology
On January 1, 2019 Prof. Javier Pérez-Ramírez will be the Editor-in-Chief of Catalysis Science & Technology, the flagship catalysis journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He has been Associate Editor for the journal since 2011.
Ruzicka Prize for the development of new methods of synthesis
This year’s Ruzicka Prize is awarded to Christof Sparr, Assistant Professor at the University of Basel. The 38-year-old ETH alumnus was honoured for his outstanding achievements in the development of new synthesis methods.
Prof. Kovalenko and Prof. Leroux among the Highly Cited Researchers 2018
Prof. Kovalenko (LAC) and Prof. Leroux (IPW) are in Clarivate's list of Highly Cited Researchers 2018. During the last decade, they have produced multiple highly cited papers, which are defined as those ranking in the top 1% by citations for a publication field and year.
Prof. Kovalenko receives ERC Consolidator Grant
Prof Maksym Kovalenko receives an ERC consolidator grant for his research on metal halides. In his project, he uses chemical engineering approaches to broadly tune the optical properties of these materials. The aim is to develop various forms of non-toxic light sources, including nanocrystals, thin films and composites, for a wide range of applications.
