Nominator's project description
| Prof. Harmer is internationally recognised as one of the leaders in the field of Technical ceramics. He receives the award for his fundamental contributions in grain growth, atomic structure, and microstructure development of ceramic materials, which have allowed him to produce new composite materials. In Germany, he continues his investigations on the "Mechanics of Grain Boundary Migration in Functional and Transparent Ceramics". |
