Vanessa Wood Appointed to Full Professor
At their meeting on 13 December the ETH Board appointed Vanessa Wood to full professor of Materials and Device Engineering
Our own Professor Vanessa Wood (*1983), currently Associate Professor at ETH Zurich, was appointed as Full Professor of Materials and Device Engineering at the ETH board meeting on 13 December. The board writes:
"Vanessa Wood is a scientist who has achieved worldwide recognition and received numerous international prizes and awards, including an ERC Starting Grant. Her field of research is an excellent fit with ETH Zurich's strategy. On the one hand, she works on improving commercially available energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries. On the other, Vanessa Wood uses experimental and computational approaches in order to understand the influence of structure – from the atomistic to the macroscale – on the properties of materials and the performance of end-devices. Her promotion to a full professorship strengthens the commitment of ETH Zurich in the strategically important field of electronics and photonics."
Congratulations Vanessa to this fully deserved promotion!
