Molly Morag Stevens FRS FIMMM FRSB FRSC is Professor of Biomedical Materials and regenerative medicine and Research Director for Biomedical Materials Sciences in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London.[1][3][4][5]

Education[]

Stevens studied for her bachelor's degree at the University of Bath, where she graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Pharmacy. She then gained a PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2000 for research using atomic force microscopy to investigate adhesion and mechanics.[6][7]

Career and research[]

Following her PhD, she moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Imperial College in 2004.[5]

Awards and honours[]

In 2010 she received the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) award for creativity in polymer science,[8] the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining Rosenhain Medal[9] and the Norman Heatley Award for interdisciplinary research from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).[10] She serves as an Associate Editor of ACS Nano.[11]

In 2013 she presented the Woolmer Lecture of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. In 2013 she was awarded the prestigious Karen Burt Memorial Award from the Women's Engineering Society, given to the best newly-chartered woman in engineering, applied science or IT.[12]

She was appointed a trustee of the National Gallery of the United Kingdom in 2018.[13] She won the 2018 Institute of Physics (IOP) Rosalind Franklin Medal and Prize. In 2019 Stevens was elected a foreign member of the National Academy of Engineering of the United States[14] and received the .[15] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2020.[16]
