Mark Matsen honoured with the prestigious Founders’ Prize

Professor Mark Matsen is set to receive the Polymer Physics Group Founders’ Prize. Only 11 scholars have been awarded this prize since its inception in 2001.

This award was created by the Institute of Physics (IoP), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RCS), and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3). The prize is for scientists who have made an exceptional contribution to Polymer Physics.

Matsen, who holds a joint position as a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is being honoured for his remarkable work on molecular self-assembly in polymeric systems involving block copolymers.
