Jenny Nelson FRS, is Professor of Physics at Imperial College London.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Fellow of the Royal Society

In 2014, she was elected to the Royal Society.[7] Her nomination reads:

Jenny Nelson is distinguished for the development of fundamental physical models, simulation tools and experiments to discover and exploit relationships between the performance of photovoltaic devices and the physical and chemical properties of the constituent materials. She has driven advances in the science and design of quantum semiconductor heterostructures, nanocrystalline oxide, conjugated molecular and hybrid organic-inorganic materials. Through analysis of the electronic, optical and structural properties of these materials she has explained device performance, introduced physical models of device function and developed analytical, numerical and experimental tools for characterisation, diagnostics and design, which have attracted the sustained interest and support of industry.[7]

Prizes Awards and Fellowships

Greenpeace Research Fellowship 1989-1992 and 1996-1997/, EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship 1997-2003/, Joule Medal and Prize, Institute of Physics, 2009/, Armourers and Brasiers' Company Prize, The Royal Society, 2012/, Industry Fellowship, The Royal Society, 2010 - 2013.

Research

Professor Jenny Nelson research career focused on the development of detailed physical descriptions of novel nanostructured or disordered (organic electronic) materials, the quantitative validation of model results against experimental data, and above all, the application of physical science to address the challenges in energy supply, in particular, in the area of photovoltaic energy conversion. Her work on the functional understanding of organic photovoltaic materials and devices has been her focus since 2000 [4-6].

International Recognition and Scholarship

Professor Jenny Nelson ranked by the Institute for Scientific Information as one of the top 100 materials scientists in the world on the basis of the impact (citations per paper) of her journal papers published between 2000-2010 (http://archive.sciencewatch.com/dr/sci/misc/Top100MatSci2000-10/). Apart from her research achievements she has an outstanding record in the dissemination of scientific ideas and learning [2].
