Magdalena (Magda) Titirici is a Professor of Sustainable Energy Materials at Imperial College London.
Titirici studied chemistry at the University of Bucharest. [1] [2] She earned her PhD at the Technical University of Dortmund in 2005, working on molecularly imprinted polymers for her undergraduate studies. [3] [4] [5] Titirici also worked at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz during her postgraduate studies. [2] She then completed her postdoctoral studies at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, where she then took on the job of group leader. She also received her habilitation in 2013 at the same university. [2] [6] Titirici joined Queen Mary University of London in 2013 as a Reader, before being promoted to Professor in 2014. [2] [7] In 2019 she moved to the Chemical Engineering Department of Imperial College London, leading a multidisciplinary and diverse research group in the field of Sustainable Energy Materials. [2] [6] She has been named Royal Academy of Engineering's Chair of Sustainable Energy Materials for Emerging Technologies, and will be funded over 10 years to develop renewable energy technologies. [8]
Her group uses biomass and hydrothermal processes to create carbon products. [9] She is interested in how these carbon nanomaterials produced by hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) can be used in electrocatalytical reactions, including oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution. [10] They also work on electrodes for energy storage in lithium and sodium ion batteries. [2] She leads a large research group who work on several projects focused on sustainable materials. [11] [12] [13] [14] They have published over 130 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. [15] She contributed to the book Global Sustainability: A Nobel Cause. [16]
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) is a UK engineering institution whose activities encompass the whole materials cycle, from exploration and extraction, through characterisation, processing, forming, finishing and application, to product recycling and land reuse. It exists to promote and develop all aspects of materials science and engineering, geology, mining and associated technologies, mineral and petroleum engineering and extraction metallurgy, as a leading authority in the worldwide materials and mining community.
Ernest Demetrious Hondros was a British material scientist, and visiting professor at Imperial College London.
The Kavli Medal is the name of two medals awarded biennially by the Royal Society.
Alan G. Thomas (1927-2019) was an international authority on the mechanics of rubbery materials, in particular their fracture mechanics properties. Along with Ronald S. Rivlin, he published the Rupture of Rubber series of articles, beginning in 1953. He was the first to apply Griffith's energy release rate criterion to the analysis of rubber's strength and fatigue behavior.

Javier Pérez-Ramírez is a Professor of Catalysis and Chemical Engineering at ETH Zurich.
Paul O'Brien was professor of Inorganic Materials at the University of Manchester. where he served as head of the School of Chemistry from 2004 to 2009 and head of the School of Materials from 2011 to 2015. He died on 16 October 2018 at the age of 64.
Thomas Benjamin Britton is a materials scientist and engineer based at The University of British Columbia. He is a specialist in micromechanics, electron microscopy and crystal plasticity. In 2014 he was awarded the Silver Medal of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), a society of which he then became a Fellow in 2016.
Charlotte Williams is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the synthesis of novel catalysts with an expertise in organometallic chemistry and polymer materials chemistry.
Camille Petit is a Reader in Materials Engineering at Imperial College London. She designs and characterises functional materials for environmental sustainability.
Karen Louise Scrivener is a material chemist known for her pioneering works in cementitious materials. She is the head of Laboratory of Construction Materials at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and served as the editor-in-chief of the Cement and Concrete Research journal for 15 years.
Rachel Angharad Oliver is a Professor of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge. She works on characterisation techniques for gallium nitride materials for dark-emitting diodes and laser diodes.
Sarah Jane Haigh is a Professor in the School of Materials at the University of Manchester. She investigates nanomaterials using transmission electron microscopy, including two-dimensional materials such as graphene.
Natalie Stingelin, Fellow of the Materials Research Society and Royal Society of Chemistry, is a materials scientist and current chair of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Bordeaux and Imperial College.
