Collaboration between scientific disciplines is the key to finding solutions to major world challenges, according to伦敦帝国学院材料部的新负责人。欧洲杯足球竞彩

William Lee, whose appointment is announced today, believes that materials science in particular has a unique role to play in pushing forward the interdisciplinary research that enables important breakthroughs to be made. He says:

“欧洲杯足球竞彩材料对基于技术的机构至关重要,因为它是所有其他学科的基础。这是将其他所有内容融合在一起的胶水,这意味着它必须坚固。”

Ranging across metals, ceramics and glasses as well as 'smart' and nanomaterials, materials research at Imperial has a wide range of applications, from health and quality of life to energy and the environment. Professor Lee, currently professor of ceramic science and engineering at the University of Sheffield, believes this broad nature will give the discipline an increasingly vital role.

"Everyone wants to live longer and enjoy good health, and there is a lot we can now do to improve quality of life," he comments. "Biomaterials, for instance, is very strong at Imperial and has potential for even greater growth and contribution to health in the future.

“还有很大的一面是,材料科学家可以为清理环境做出贡献,并找到减少污欧洲杯足球竞彩染的方法 - 处理有毒废物,减少碳排放和开发干净的燃料只是一些例子。”

Welcoming him to Imperial, Julia King, Principal of the Faculty of Engineering, said: "Leading the Department of Materials requires great depth and breadth of knowledge, both of the subject itself and of the wider arena in which it operates. With his experience and enthusiasm, Bill Lee fits this requirement perfectly and we are delighted that he is coming to Imperial to lead the department to even greater successes."

Lee教授是谢菲尔德大学陶瓷科学与工程学教授兼固定科学实验室主任。欧洲杯线上买球他将于2006年1月在帝国接任约翰·基尔纳(John Kilner)教授,后者于2000年9月担任系主任。
