Following the footsteps of other FLOGEN award recipients who have subsequently achieved further recognition, Dr. Mercouri Kanatzidis has recently been further recognised for his exceptional contributions to materials science and chemistry, as highlighted by the Northwestern University Department of Chemistry.
A special issue of Chemistry of Materials, titled “Honoring the Outstanding Contributions of Mercouri Kanatzidis to Chemistry of Materials,” has been published in his honor, celebrating his remarkable career spanning over four decades.
Throughout his career, Dr. Kanatzidis has made pioneering contributions to solid-state and structural chemistry, as well as to the synthesis, design, and discovery of advanced materials. His influence extends beyond research, having trained and inspired generations of scientists across academia, industry, and national laboratories.
This recognition underscores his outstanding scientific achievements and his lasting impact on the field of materials chemistry, as well as his significant contributions to the American Chemical Society and its journal Chemistry of Materials.
ABOUT:
FLOGEN Sustainability through Science and Technology / Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit (SIPS), is a yearly event that is deeply science-focused and technology & engineering-oriented. It has been organized since 2003 by the not-for-profit corporation. FLOGEN Stars Outreach (https://www.flogen.org), which is dedicated to achieving sustainability through science and technology. It incorporates summit plenary lectures from well-known speakers that address the link between scientific, technology and engineering domains in the pursuit of sustainable development, as well as specific science, technology and engineering symposia that feature technical presentations with the same goals in mind.
Based on the FLOGEN Sustainability Framework (https://flogen.org/pdf/sips16_524FS.pdf), following a long and rich tradition, the summit covers 3 sustainability pillars: (1) Science, Technology & Industry, (2) Governance & Management and (3) Education & Civil Society.
It attracts the participation of numerous Nobel Laureates and many Distinguished Guests. It features in average about 50 scientific and technology symposia covering various distinguished fields. Academics, Engineers, Managers, Directors, CEOs, Medical Doctors, Lawyers, Economists and Politicians are in attendance.
SIPS is held annually since 2003 in various countries around the world: https://www.flogen.org/?p=32#toop
