16th November 2011: School of Physics Professor awarded SFI 2011 'Researcher of the Year'
Professor Jonathan Coleman has been announced as Science Foundation Ireland's Researcher of the Year for 2011. Professor Coleman was presented with the award by the Minister for Research and Innovation, Seán Sherlock T.D, at the recent SFI Science Summit held in Athlone on Monday 14th November 2011.
Minister Sherlock said “It is an extraordinary feat to be responsible for the development of the toughest materials known to man, but this is a feat that Jonathan has achieved. His work has been published in prestigious international journals such as Science, Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, and Advanced Materials, as well as featuring in New Scientist, the New York Times and on CNN. Within the last year, Jonathan has been recognised as one of the top 100 material scientists of the last decade – the only Irish representative and one of the youngest on the list.”
