An international judging committee chaired by Dr Manfred Eggersdorfer, R&D director at DSM Nutritional Products, selected Alexandra Teleki, who obtained her doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich (Switzerland).
Alexandra Teleki has succeeded in developing a highly reproducible method for the simplified production of structured nano-particles. Structured nano-particles are expected to play a major role in enabling sustainable routes to materials production. Dr Teleki was presented with the award by Leendert Staal, president and CEO of DSM Nutritional Products at a festive awards event at Park Hotel Vitznau in Vitznau. As the winner of the first prize, she receives a cash prize of €10,000.
The judging committee said it was impressed by the considerable scope of the research of Alexandra Teleki, ranging from the development of new production methods to the application of a series of new coated nano-particles.
