2011 Outstanding Young Investigator Award

Tuesday, April 26, 5:05 pm
Moscone West, Room 3004 

The Outstanding Young Investigator Award has been established to recognize outstanding interdisciplinary materials research by a young scientist or engineer. The 2011 MRS OYI Award is presented to Dmitri V. Talapin, University of Chicago, “for methodological developments of synthesis and self-assembly of inorganic nanocrystals and for fundamental studies transforming colloidal nanostructures into electronic and optoelectronic materials.”

Dmitri V. Talapin University of Chicago Talk Presentation:  Nanocrystal Solids―A Modular Approach to Materials Design

Dmitri Talapin is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. His research interests revolve around colloidal inorganic nanomaterials, spanning synthetic methodology to device fabrication, with the goal of turning colloidal nanostructures into competitive electronic materials. He received his doctorate degree from the University of Hamburg, Germany, in 2002 under the supervision of Horst Weller. In 2003, Talapin joined the IBM Research Division at T. J. Watson Research Center as a postdoctoral fellow to work with Chris Murray on the synthesis and self assembly of semiconductor nanostructures. In 2005, he moved to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a staff scientist at the Molecular Foundry. He joined the faculty at the University of Chicago in 2007. His recent recognitions include the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award (2010); David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering (2009); NSF CAREER Award (2009) and Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2009).
