Emma McCabe delivers Lonsdale Prize winning lecture at the British Crystallographic Association (BCA)'s spring meeting.
The Lonsdale Lecture Prize is awarded annually by the early-stage crystallography group (ESCG) of the British Crystallographic Association in memory of Dame Kathleen Lonsdale. Dr Emma McCabe (Durham condensed matter physics) was honoured to be awarded this prize at the BCA spring meeting 2025.
The title of Dr McCabe's lecture was "Breaking inversion symmetry: strategies and consequences", focusing on materials design strategies for new functional materials.
Dr McCabe was especially delighted to be able to catch up with several people she has previously taught, including Dr Tom Hitchings who presented her with the prize. She said "The prize meant a lot to me, especially as it's awarded by the early-stage crystallographers' group (ESCG), several of whom I've taught as part of their undergraduate or apprenticeship courses".
