Dr. Marta Mas-Torrent has been awarded with fourth Olivier Kahn International Award
Dr. Marta Mas-Torrent, has made original contributions in the field of materials science and multifunctional materials at the interface between chemistry, physics, materials and applied science, from fundamental research to patents, towards technological applications.
The European Institute of Molecular Magnetism, the Chairman and the members of the Olivier Kahn Award International Jury announced that the laureate of the fourth Olivier Kahn International Award is Dr. Marta Mas-Torrent, NANOMOL researcher.
In their communication Jury members remarked that "The 2013 laureate, Dr. Marta Mas-Torrent, has made original contributions in the field of materials science and multifunctional materials. She is working in the very active Department of Molecular Nanoscience and Organic Materials in Barcelona where she developed her own ideas at the interface between chemistry, physics, materials and applied science, from fundamental research to patents, towards technological applications. She successfully transformed organic molecules in readable switchable devices towards use as bits in information storage. The impressive, steady and creative endeavours of the laureate have exploited the fact that molecules can be synthesised in large amounts, tailored for specific applications and can spontaneously selfassemble in more complex structures to process them into original devices".
