Gareth Lloyd has been awarded the CCDC Chemical Crystallography Prize for Younger Scientists.
The Herchel Smith postdoctoral fellow in Bill Jones’ group has been recognised for his work on using crystallographic information to understand, control and utilise supramolecular chemistry to synthesise and design molecular materials.
As well as a cash prize, he will be presenting his research at the 2012 British Crystallographic Association’s Spring meeting at the University of Warwick in April.
‘The quality of the nominees for the prize was exceptionally high,’ says Hazel Sparkes, chair of the BCA’s Chemical Crystallography Group. ‘However, the committee felt that during his career to date, Gareth has made an outstanding contribution to crystallography with some high impact publications.’
