Milo Shaffer

Prof. Milo Shaffer is Professor of Materials Chemistry at Imperial College and was co-Director of the London Centre for Nanotechnology (2010-2020). He is a leader in nanomaterials synthesis, modification, and hierarchical assembly, for applications including composites and electrochemical devices. He has pioneered the development of redox methods for nanocarbon processing, and at a larger scale, he developed new hierarchical combinations of nanocarbons as structural electrochemical energy storage electrodes, coupling mechanical and electrochemical phenomena (see www.sorcerer.eu). He currently leads the UK NextCOMP program on next generation composites in compression (www.nextcomp.ac.uk). He was awarded the RSC Meldola Medal (2005) and the RSC Corday-Morgan Prize (2014).
