Stephen Mann,[1][2][3] FRS, FRSC, (born 1 April 1955) is Professor of Chemistry, co-director of the Max Planck Bristol Centre for Minimal Biology,[4] director of the Centre for Organized Matter Chemistry,[5] director of the Centre for Protolife Research,[6] and was principal of the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials[7] at the University of Bristol, UK.

Education

Mann was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in 1976,[8] and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Oxford in 1982 under the supervision of Professor R. J. P. Williams FRS.[9]

Career

Following his Doctor of Philosophy degree, Mann was elected to a junior research fellowship at Keble College, University of Oxford,[10] and then awarded a lectureship at the University of Bath in 1984[10] where he was appointed to a full professorship in 1990. He moved to the University of Bristol in 1998.[11]

Research

Mann's research is concerned with the chemical synthesis, characterization and emergence of complex forms of organized matter. His research activities include biomineralization,[12][13] biomimetic materials chemistry,[14] synthesis and self-assembly of nanoscale objects,[15] functional nanomaterials,[16] complexity and emergent behaviour in hybrid nanostructures,[17] and solvent-free liquid proteins.[18] His current work is focused on the design and construction of synthetic protocells.[19] Mann has published over 550 scientific papers with a current h-index of 125 and over 64,000 citations.[20] He is listed in the 2014 Thomson Reuters index of world's most influential scientific minds[21] and in the top 0.01% of cited scientists.[22]

Awards and honours

Mann was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, UK in 2003.[2] Other accolades include:
