Dylan Sherman Recognised With Future Leaders Award

Trinity postgraduate and Stipendiary Lecturer Dylan Sherman has been named to the CAS Future Leaders program for early-career scientists. He is one of 30 students from ten countries to receive the award. 

Now in its 12th  year, the CAS Future Leaders program is a global leadership program run by CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society. 

CAS Future Leaders program awards early-career scientists with leadership training and a trip to the ACS National Meeting & Exposition. This year’s participants were selected among hundreds of applicants, representing 10 countries and a wide array of scientific disciplines.

Dylan, a member of Oxford's Multifunctional Materials Composites (MMC) Lab in Engineering Science, works on MOFtronics: developing hybrid nanosheets functionalised by sandwiching guests between the sheets to construct durable nanodevices for sensing, lighting, and filtration. He says of the award: ‘It’s immensely humbling to be joining a cohort of such influential, motivated and community aware global scientists. I’m looking forward to networking, learning and growing through the program to maximise the impact and change possible through our scientific research.’

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is a global organization of expert scientists, technologists, and business leaders with a successful history of delivering scientific information opportunities.
