This award is giving me the strength to continue pursuing research and teaching in polymer science at KAUST to realize my dream. It is the first time I got an international award (American Chemical Society) under KAUST affiliation and I am very proud of that. How does it feel to be honored for advancing the field of polymer science? This is the reason why I have seven Saudi students in my team. Consequently, I have the experience to build the laboratory here and KAUST gives us all possible means to do that.Īnother part of my dream was to educate our students and in particular the Saudi students. I was also a founding member of the European Polymer Federation. While in Greece, I was the first to introduce Polymer Science Courses and Research and establish the Polymer Greek Society. I did the same in Greece after coming back from the USA and Canada to the University of Athens. What brought you to KAUST and when did you join? I joined KAUST in September 2011 and I came with a dream: to build a worldwide Polymer Synthesis Laboratory, and thus to contribute to the vision and mission of KAUST. Currently a Professor of Chemical Science in KAUST's Catalysis Center, we wanted to know more about his research goals and where he sees polymer science going in the future. Hadjichristidis’s research is impressive.
With more than 450 papers published in scientific journals and 19 patents, Prof. The Polymer Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society gives out the award. Established in 2009, this prestigious award recognizes excellence in advancing the field of polymer science, either through scientific accomplishments, service to the profession, or both. Nikos Hadjichristidis was recently selected as a 2014 POLY Fellow for his contributions in advancing the field of polymer science.
