American Lewis Bruce, Russian Alexey Ekimov and Tunisian-American Mengi Bounty have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Academy announced.
Who is Munji Bounty?
Al-Bounty is an American chemist of Tunisian descent. He was born in the French capital Paris in 1961. He spent his childhood in France and Tunisia before his father decided to immigrate to America.
He received a master’s degree in chemistry from Harvard University and a doctorate from the University of Chicago.
Focus on his business
Boundi’s research group focuses on studying colloidal semiconductor quantum dots, with increasing interest in organic fluorophores. Research projects generally fall into four categories:
- Spectroscopic analysis.
- Collection.
- Biology.
- devices.
Research initially focused only on the spectroscopic study of quantum dots, while recent progress has led to many challenges in synthesis, biological application of nanomaterials, and solar cell research. Additionally, the Bounty Foundation is interested in single quantum dot spectroscopy along with single molecule spectroscopy. Graduated from Harvard University.
His father is also a scientist
Mongi was the son of mathematician Mohamed Salah Bounty and Hélène Poupart.
In 1968, Muhammad Bawandi became an associate professor at the University of Tunis, then in 1970 he moved to France, where he worked briefly at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, before moving to the United States in 1971.
Where does Monchi teach now?
Since spring 2008, El-Bounty has co-taught thermodynamics and kinetics with Professor Keith Nelson. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
One of the original participants in the field of colloidal quantum dot research, Bounty is one of the most cited chemists of the past decade.
What is this year’s Nobel achievement?
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry rewards the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles whose size determines their properties. According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, these tiny elements of nanotechnology are used in the light emitted from televisions and LEDs, among others, to guide surgeons when removing tumor tissue.
The Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel Prize, said: The 2023 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry have succeeded in creating particles small enough to have their properties determined by quantum phenomena. .”
