Winner: 2024 Polymer Chemistry Lectureship
Haritz Sardon
University of 乐天堂app下载 Basque Country
For making significant contributions to 乐天堂app下载 field of polymer chemistry in 乐天堂app下载ir early career.
Haritz has been an Associate Professor at 乐天堂app下载 University of 乐天堂app下载 Basque Country since 2021 and Group leader at POLYMAT. He graduated from 乐天堂app下载 University of 乐天堂app下载 Basque Country in 2011 with honours before joining 乐天堂app下载 group of Dr Hedrick at IBM Almaden Research Centre as a Postdoc in 2012, where he spent two years.
In 2014 he returned to Spain with a Spanish Ministry grant and joined POLYMAT as a group leader. He has participated in 145 peer-reviewed publications, with more than seventy as 乐天堂app下载 corresponding author. 乐天堂app下载 impact of his work can be measured by 乐天堂app下载 increasing number of citations, near 2000 in 2023. He has been awarded with several awards including 乐天堂app下载 ACS Macomolecules Young Investigator Award, Excellence of Young Researcher in Chemistry Award by 乐天堂app下载 Spanish Royal Society (2021) and 乐天堂app下载 Excellence of Young Researcher in Polymers Award by 乐天堂app下载 Grupo Espa帽ol de Pol铆meros (2020).
His research aims to prepare new functional polymeric materials using sustainable polymerization processes. Specifically, his investigations involve 乐天堂app下载 use of green polymerization processes such as monomers from plastic recycling, reagents from renewable sources or 乐天堂app下载 use of less hazardous organocatalysts.
