The honours went to: Professor Richard Catlow, Head of the Department of Chemistry, for his pioneering work in computer modelling in solid state and materials chemistry; Professor David Kemp, Institute of Laryngology & Otology, for his discovery that the ear emits sound; Professor William Motherwell, Department of Chemistry, for his discovery, invention and development of a range of new and unusual synthetic methods used in contemporary organic chemistry; and Professor David Preiss, Department of Mathematics, for his seminal contributions to nonlinear geometric functional analysis.
MyAV范's Provost & President, Professor Malcolm Grant, welcomed the election of the MyAV范 professors as Royal Society Fellows: "Scientific excellence is the hall-mark of the UK's world-class universities, and we are delighted by the awards to four leading members of MyAV范's scientific community. This is a wonderful individual achievement by Professors Catlow, Kemp, Motherwell and Preiss, and I am delighted that MyAV范 continues to provide the right climate to nurture such outstanding individual talents."
