Robert Hoye recognised for outstanding achievement in materials science and engineering

The Paul Siffert Award (formerly E-MRS EU-40 Materials Prize) was established to recognise and honour young researchers whose work has already had a major impact in the field of Materials Science research and has led to great expectations for future research leadership.

Professor Robert Hoye was nominated by his peers for his outstanding research developing inorganic semiconductors for energy, solar fuel and healthcare applications.

The 2026 award will be presented to Professor Robert Hoye at the spring meeting and exhibition of the European Materials Research Society in Strasbourg this May.

Previous winners of the Paul Siffert award include Professor Henry Snaith an Associate Fellow in Physics at St John's.

Congratulations, Robert!
