Hendrik Heinz

Boulder, has been awarded an International Association for Advanced Materials (IAAM), in recognition of his contributions to advanced materials, engineeringÌýand technology.Ìý

The prestigious award was given to Heinz for creating powerful computational simulation tools that accurately model inorganic-biological systems, ranging from tiny atoms to a larger micrometer scale, Heinz said. The tools have greatly improved the accuracy of material design, making it possible to predict and create catalysts, composites and structural materials more efficiently. The increased accuracy allows researchers to speed up the design process and test new materials, leading to the development of improved materials, he added.

As part of the honor, Heinz was invited to deliver the IAAM Scientist Medal Lecture at the American Fellow Summit, held on March 1 in Miami, Florida. Following the lecture, he was presented with the IAAM Scientist Medal citation.Ìý

In 2020, Heinz was elected as a Fellow of the IAAM.Ìý
