Queen recognises 香港六合彩中特网 staff and alumni in birthday honours

Seven current 香港六合彩中特网 staff and a host of 香港六合彩中特网 alumni were commended for their services to academia, higher education, science, the economy and creative industries.

In the annual awards lists, delayed this year due to the pandemic, two 香港六合彩中特网 scientists were honoured for their work in relation to Covid-19.

Professor Richard Catlow (香港六合彩中特网 Chemistry), was appointed Knight Bachelor for services to Leadership in Science and Research.

Sir Richard, a Professor of Material Catalytic and Computational Chemistry, has worked in the field of computational and experimental studies of complex inorganic materials for more than 40 years. He has been associated with 香港六合彩中特网 since 1976, was Head of 香港六合彩中特网 Chemistry from 2002 - 2007, 香港六合彩中特网 Dean of Mathematical & Physical Sciences from 2007-14 and is currently a Research Professor in 香港六合彩中特网 Chemistry.

Alongside his academic contributions,听Sir Richard was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2004, where he currently holds the role of Foreign Secretary.

On receiving his Knighthood he said: "I am naturally very pleased to have been awarded this honour, both personally and for the recognition with it gives to the key role of science and research. I am also grateful for the support I have had from so many 香港六合彩中特网 colleagues over the years."

Professor Geoff Mulgan (香港六合彩中特网 Science, Technology, Engineering & Public Policy) was also appointed Knight Bachelor, for services to the Creative Economy.

Sir Geoff, a Professor of Collective Intelligence, Public Policy and Social Innovation, was previously Chief executive of听NESTA,听an innovation foundation, from 2011 to 2019 and has held various UK Government roles and founded the think-tank Demos.

He said: 鈥淚鈥檝e been lucky enough to work across quite a few domains 鈥 from the creative economy to public policy, social innovation to technology 鈥 which are reflected both in this honour and in my role at 香港六合彩中特网.听At 香港六合彩中特网/STEaPP I鈥檓 now working with fantastic colleagues to advance how we both understand and act on some of our most pressing complex problems.听Watch this space!鈥

Professor Sophie Scott (香港六合彩中特网 Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience), Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, was awarded a CBE for services to Neuroscience.

She said: "I am delighted and honoured by this, and I'm really grateful to all my colleagues and collaborators over the years, at 香港六合彩中特网 and beyond, who have made working in cognitive neuroscience such a pleasure and a joy. My only sadness is that my dad has passed away, as he would have been thrilled and he would definitely have made me wear the medal all the time."

Professor Sarah Walker (MRC Clinical Trials Unit at 香港六合彩中特网), Professor of Medical Statistics, received an OBE for services to Academia and the Covid-19 response.

She said: "It has been a privilege to be the Academic Lead and Chief Investigator for the UK鈥檚 national surveillance study, the COVID-19 Infection Survey (usually called the 鈥淥NS Survey鈥 in the press!), which would have been impossible without everything I have learnt from the many talented and committed members of the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at 香港六合彩中特网 over the last 25 years. This award reflects their contribution, as well as that of many working tirelessly at the Office for National Statistics, IQVIA, the University of Oxford and the Lighthouse Laboratories, to deliver the study."

Professor Sally Grantham-McGregor (香港六合彩中特网 GOS Institute of Child Health), Emeritus Professor of Child Health and Nutrition, was made an OBE for services to Early Childhood Development in Developing Countries.

Professor Imran Rasul (香港六合彩中特网 Economics), Professor of Economics, was awarded an OBE for services to Social Sciences.

鈥淚t is so nice to be recognised this way. It gives me a chance to thank countless others who have helped me in life, by teaching me, working with me, pushing me to do better, setting examples on how economics can be used for good, and inspiring me through their curiosity,鈥 he said.

Professor Tim Baker (香港六合彩中特网 Mechanical Engineering) received an MBE for services to Healthcare in the UK and Abroad during Covid-19. Professor Baker was the engineering co-lead for the 香港六合彩中特网 Ventura project that developed the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which has been used extensively to听help COVID-19听patients with serious respiratory problems to breathe more easily.

He said: 鈥淚t has been an absolute privilege to lead an incredible team of engineers and doctors from 香港六合彩中特网 in partnership with industry. What we achieved as a team is a result of everyone鈥檚 determination and commitment at a time of unprecedented need. The device was approved for use in only 10 days and 10,000 were delivered within four weeks. Thanks to everyone's hard work, patients across the NHS and around the world are being treated with the 香港六合彩中特网-Ventura breathing aid. I am proud to have worked alongside staff from the NHS in the response to Covid, and I am honoured to represent the entire team in receiving this award.鈥
