Liquid Crystal Science with Gray Medal recipient Dr Ingo Dierking
Meet the Department 7 June 2021
Dr Ingo Dierking from the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Manchester was awarded the 2021 G.W. Gray Medal, the highest prize of the British Liquid Crystals Society (BLCS). The medal is awarded for outstanding contributions to research in the field of liquid crystal science and technology. It was first awarded 25 years ago, following the award of the Kyoto prize for Advanced Technology to George Gray (1926-2013), the discoverer of the first room temperature liquid crystal, which made Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) a reality.
To celebrate this achievement, we spoke to Ingo about the importance and continued relevance of liquid crystal research.
