A new obituary of Ian Manners (1961–2023) authored by Professor Geoffrey Ozin of the department of chemistry, has appeared in Nature Nanotechnology.
"A passionate and dedicated lecturer, he inspired his students by always underlining the beauty and wonderment in chemistry and science," writes Ozin, who talks about Manners's background, career and research accomplishments.
The piece celebrates Manners both for his contributions to the field of polymer and materials chemistry as well as a boundless curiosity and drive to reach across the borders into other scientific and engineering disciplines when looking for collaborators.
