Dr Adnan Mehonic, Associate Professor in Nanoelectronics and RAEng Senior Research Fellow at UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering, has been awarded the highly prestigious EU-40 Materials Prize by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS).
Presented annually, the prize recognises a single researcher in Europe under the age of 40 who shows exceptional potential to become a future leader in materials science. Dr Mehonic’s research spans nanoelectronics, novel materials and alternative computing, and is already making a substantial contribution to the field.
As part of the honour, he delivered a plenary talk and received the award at the 2025 E-MRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg.
Winning the EMRS EU-40 Prize is deeply meaningful, not just as recognition, but as an affirmation of the kind of research I do, bridging materials science, nanoelectronics, and alternative computing. I believe the most interesting ideas often live at the boundaries between disciplines, and that’s where I’ve tried to work.
