Stephen James Eichhorn (born 24th July 1972) Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry of the Institute of Physics Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining CEng is Professor of Materials science and Engineering at the University of Bristol.
Education
Born in Manchester and brought up near Nantwich, Eichhorn attended Malbank School and Sixth Form College. On leaving school he went to University of Leeds to study Physics, graduating in 1993. He then went on to study for an Master of Science in Forestry and Paper Industries Technology at University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and Bangor University until 1996. He then joined the laboratories of Wadood Hamad as a Doctor of Philosophy, graduating in 1999. Following this he undertook postdoctoral research at University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology under the supervision of Robert Young (materials scientist) where he worked on Cellulose fiber and micromechanics using Raman spectroscopy.
Academic career
Eichhorn was hired as a Lecturer in 2002 in Polymer physics and Biomaterial and was rapdily promoted to Senior lecturer in 2006 and Reader (academic rank) in 2008, all at University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and the newly formed University of Manchester. In 2011 he moved to the University of Exeter as Chair in Materials science and was Head of Engineering from 2014-2017. In 2017 he moved to the University of Bristol as Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and was interim Head of School (in 2017/18). He was awarded an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Equality and diversity (United Kingdom) fellowship in the Physical Sciences in 2021.
Research
Eichhorn's research focusses on the structure property relationships of cellulose and Renewable material as well as an interest in Decolonization of Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects and has published in this area.[1][2] In 2021 he was one of the authors of a paper in Science (journal) on Moldable wood.
Awards and honours
Eichhorn was awarded the Rosenhain Medal in 2012,[3] from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining the Hayashi Jisuke Award from the Japanese Cellulose society in 2017[4] and the Swinburne Medal in 2020[5] again from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. He was the first UK based scientist to be a Chair of the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division of the American Chemical Society in 2015.[6] He is currently also on the Strategic advisory board for the Henry Royce Institute[7]
