Luis Liz-Marzán has been awarded the 2017 Blaise Pascal Medal in Materials Science from the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC) in recognition of his contributions to the understanding of nanocrystal growth and self-assembly, plasmonic properties and sensing applications.
The European Academy of Sciences established the Blaise Pascal Medal in 2003 to recognise an outstanding and demonstrated personal contribution to science and technology and the promotion of excellence in research and education. Up to six medals may be awarded in any one year.
