It was such an honour to be shortlisted for the award let alone winning. I’m so grateful for the event as it showcased all the amazing work everyone is doing with in the industry, which led to a lot of interesting discussions that allowed even more insight. This award helps to recognise the work being done in sustainability and how truly important it is.
I was delighted to receive even the nomination in the first place so to win the award feels like an amazing achievement and rewarding to see the hard work I put into my degree get recognised by such a prestigious organisation.
I had a fantastic evening meeting people with such broad experiences in materials sciences and was so pleased to win the A T Green award reflecting my love of ceramics. I look forward to getting involved in many more of the wonderful opportunities IOM3 has to offer.
