Professor Tomislav Friščić FRSC
Winner: 2023 Corday-Morgan Prize
University of Birmingham
For transformative contributions to the design, fundamental understanding and applications of solid-state materials, and of their mechanochemical and photochemical reactivity.
Celebrate Professor Tomislav Friščić
Professor Friščić’s team are developing a safer, cleaner approach to chemical reactions and manufacturing: they call this ‘Chemistry 2.0’. It relies on the use of solids, instead of commonly used toxic solvents, as a means to perform chemistry. In order to avoid the use of solvents, they are inventing new ways to activate solids through mechanical forces (mechanochemistry) or light (photochemistry). Their ultimate goal is to provide researchers and industries with the tools and understanding they need to replace and transform existing chemical processes with cleaner, safer, and more sustainable alternatives.
