Professor Nguyen T.K. Thanh
Professor Nguyen T.K. Thanh - Professor Nguyen T. K. Thanh (UCL Physics & Astronomy) is one of only 12 recipients globally of this year's Distinguished Women in Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Awards, bestowed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The awards programme, initiated as part of the 2011 International Year of Chemistry celebrations, was created to acknowledge and promote the work of women chemists and chemical engineers worldwide. IUPAC said the 12 awardees had been selected based on excellence in basic or applied research, distinguished accomplishments in teaching or education, or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in the chemical sciences. The awards committee was particularly interested, IUPAC said, in nominees with a history of leadership and/or community service during their careers. Professor Thanh, who is Professor of Nanomaterials at UCL, said: "I am delighted because my work is recognised by my international peers. I am proud of all the achievements by women in science and in chemistry and chemical engineering in particular." Professor Thanh's work has advanced fundamental understanding of chemical syntheses and her physical studies of nanomaterials could be used to help with diagnosis and treatment of cancer as well as other biomedical applications.
