Winner of the International Sol-Gel Society PhD Thesis Award 2022

2023/11/20

Dr. Mathias Stanzel has received the Gold Medal of the International Sol-Gel Society (ISGS) PhD Thesis award 2022 for his work entitled “Mesoporous film architectures and step gradient formation”. The award, granted by the ISGS and first launched in 2018, was created to distinguish PhD theses that represent outstanding contributions to scientific and/or technological knowledge in the field of sol-gel chemistry and related fields.

The Award Committee pointed out that the candidate made an excellent and original contribution to the fabrication of sophisticated sol-gel-derived mesoporous films by achieving great control of the spatial position of the chemical functions. He mastered and successfully applied a broad variety of methods for the characterization including optical and electrochemical methods to probe the transport of molecules in well-defined mesoarchitectures.
