Bilge Yildiz wins Faraday Medal
Bilge Yildiz, Breene M. Kerr (1951) Professor in the Departments of Nuclear Science and Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, has been selected as the 2024 recipient of the Faraday Medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Yildiz’s research focuses on the fundamentals of electrochemistry, studying the chemical reactions that use or make electricity, in materials that conduct ions, or charged atoms. Projects in her laboratory include building more efficient fuel cells, which turn hydrogen and oxygen into electricity; electrolyzers, which use electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen; solid-state batteries for energy-storage; and computer processors inspired by human intelligence.
The Faraday Medal is awarded annually by the Electrochemistry Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry in recognition of outstanding original contributions and innovation in any field of electrochemistry. The award ceremony will take place in September in Manchester, England.
