Professor Silva, Director of the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) at the University of Surrey, has significantly contributed to the field of carbon nanomaterials and engineering for over 30 years. His work has led to practical uses in various sectors, including space, medical, and energy industries.  

Professor Silva has also mentored over 200 PhD and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom now work in academia, industry, and government. 

Congratulations to Ravi on this recognition from the European Academy of Sciences for his long-term leadership of the ATI and his ground-breaking nanotechnology research. Ravi and the ATI stand at the forefront of our need to build a more sustainable world by developing new technologies for the emerging green economy. Professor Bob Nichol, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean (FEPS)

The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) is an independent international organisation that recognises top European scientists and fosters cross-border scientific collaboration and progress in Europe. It offers expert advice to enhance European research and societal development, operating independently from national bodies. 

I want to thank the General Board of the European Academy of Sciences for this great honour – one that wouldn’t be possible without the support of my family and colleagues at the ATI and the wider University of Surrey community. I have always believed that engineers have a duty to use their talents to help our planet become more sustainable – and that is exactly what I am striving for. Professor Ravi Silva, Director, Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and Head of NanoElectronics Centre
