HIU founding director Horst Hahn elected as Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors

Professor Horst Hahn, HIU founding director and director of the Institute for Nanotechnology at KIT, was elected a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) in the USA. He will receive the award in April 2020 at the NAI Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.

Horst Hahn’s research in the field of materials science includes the synthesis of nanomaterials and nanostructures as well as their characterization and properties. In addition to basic research, he also focuses on application-related topics such as new battery materials, materials for printable electronics and nanomaterials for catalysis.

The National Academy of Inventors was founded in 2010 along the lines of the National Academy of the United States. The approximately 4,000 international members of the organization, including 1060 elected fellows, come from more than 250 institutions worldwide. The Fellow program honors academic researchers who, through their outstanding inventions, have a “noticeable impact on quality of life, economic development and the well-being of society”. Admission to the NAI’s Fellow program is the highest professional award for academic inventors.
