In June, Professor Mildred Dresselhaus will formally receive the 2015 IEEE Medal of Honor for her leadership and contributions across many fields of science and engineering.
She is the first woman to receive the organisation’s highest honor since its inception in 1917.
Dresselhaus is famous for her work in carbon-based materials.
In the energy sector, carbon-based materials are frequently discussed in terms of their ability to increase energy storage capacities in battery technologies and super-capacitors; qualities that have become invaluable to modern electronics.
The IEEE in announcing her accolade stated the era of carbon electronics can be traced back to her research and efforts.
Her love of music would help her discover a passion for mathematics and physics that would eventually lead her to a full Professorship at MIT.
