Professor Nguyễn Thị Kim Thanh, FRSC, FInstP, FIMMM FRSB (http://www.ntk-thanh.co.uk) held a prestigious Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2005-2014). She was appointed a Full Professor in Nanomaterials in 2013 at University College London. She leads a very dynamic group conducting cutting edge interdisciplinary and innovative research on the design, and synthesis of magnetic and plasmonic nanomaterials mainly for biomedical applications.
In 2019, she has been honoured for her achievements in the field of nanomaterials, and was awarded highly prestigious Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Medal. She was RSC Interdisciplinary Prize winner in 2022. She was awarded SCI/RSC Colloids Groups 2023 Graham Prize Lectureship to recognise an outstanding mid-career researcher in colloid and interface science. She is one of only 12 recipients globally of 2023 Distinguished Women in Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Awards, bestowed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
Currently, she is Vice Dean for Innovation and Enterprise at Faculty of Maths and Physical Sciences.
She has been Visiting Professor at various Universities in France, Japan, Singapore. She has been invited to speak at 316 institutes and scientific meetings. She has been chairing and organising over 45 high profile international conferences.
She is Editor-in-chief of the Royal Society of Chemistry book Series, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and an Associate Editor for Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances Journals. She edited 7 theme issues including: Design and scaling up of theranostic nanoplatforms for health: towards translational studies. Nanoscale, RSC (2023); Advanced Functional Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications. Nanoscale, RSC (2021); Multifunctional nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Interface Focus, The Royal Society (2016); Volume 175: Physical Chemistry of Functionalised Biomedical Nanoparticles. Faraday Discussions, RSC (2014); Special issue: Functional Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications.
