Stephen Mann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen Mann (born April 1, 1955 in Leeds ) is a British chemist ( inorganic chemistry ), known for biomimetic synthesis.

Mann graduated from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) with a bachelor's degree and received his PhD in inorganic chemistry from Oxford University in 1982 with Robert Williams . As a post-doctoral student , he was a Junior Research Fellow at Keble College, Oxford. From 1990 to 1998 he was Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bath , where he was Junior Lecturer from 1984 , and then at the University of Bristol . He is Director of the Center for Organized Matter Chemistry and the Center for Protolife Research at the University of Bristol and Principal at the Bristol Center for Functional Nanomaterials.

In 2009 he was visiting professor at the College de France, in 2011 at Harvard University, in 1988 at the Weizmann Institute (with Lia Addadi , Steve Weiner ) and in 1993/94 at the University of California, Santa Barbara (with Dan Morse , Galen Stucky ).

He is a pioneer in the field of biomimetic materials chemistry, engaging in biomineralization and biologically inspired synthesis and self-assembly of functional nanostructures, including preforming cells with research on the origin of life.

Around 480 scientific papers (2015) originate from him and he is one of the highly cited scientists.

In 1993 he co-founded Protein Magnetics.

In 2016 he received the Davy Medal and in 2011 the De Gennes Prize and the Franco-British Prize of the French Chemical Society. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (2003). In 1998 he received the Humboldt Research Award, in 2006 the Wolfson Research Merit Award from the Royal Society and in 1993 the Cordan Morgan Medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry , of which he received the Joseph Chatt Medal in 2007 and of which he has been a Fellow since 1996. In 2011 he received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.
