The Journal of Materials Chemistry A has presented a themed collection highlighting the rising stars of materials chemistry research in 2023. This special collection showcases the very best work from materials chemists in the early stages of their independent career.
Each contributor was recommended by experts in their fields as carrying out work with the potential to influence future directions in materials chemistry with applications in energy and sustainability.
Dr Theodore Hanein said: "I am honoured to be acknowledged by the JMCA for the research myself and my team are doing. The transition to a more eco-friendly cement industry is of utmost importance, and the recognition of our work in this field is truly encouraging. I hope that this acknowledgment will help us continue to advance our expertise and knowledge in this crucial area."
Dr Theodore Hanein is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow on Green, Circular, and Smart Cement manufacture. His expertise is mainly in materials thermochemistry, and he is a senior research fellow (associate professor) in the Cements@91Ö±²¥ research group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of 91Ö±²¥, as well as Director of the Centre for Experimental Thermodynamics UK. Theo is a member of the Transforming Foundation Industries Future Leaders Group and deputy chair of the RILEM technical committee on upcycling powder minerals into cement matrices.
