The L'Oréal Foundation and UNESCO are proud to announce the five 2023 laureates of the International Awards for Women in Science. On June 15, the L'Oréal Foundation and UNESCO will honor these distinguished scientists from five major regions of the world with exceptional careers for the contribution to society of their research in physical, mathematical and computer sciences. This unique ceremony, which will take place at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, will also be the occasion to celebrate 25 years of the L'Oréal-UNESCO Program “For Women in Science”, which has become famous for recognizing excellence scientific research of researchers at the national, regional and international level. Winners of the 25th edition of the L'Oréal-UNESCO International Awards for Women in Science The five winners of 2023 were chosen by an independent jury chaired by Professor Artur Avila, professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Zurich (Switzerland), extraordinary researcher at the IMPA (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics) of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil.
And winner of the Fields medal in 2014, for the 25th L'Oréal-UNESCO International Prize “For Women in Science”, in the areas of Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science. Laureate for Africa and the Arab States Professor Nunes – Chemistry Professor of Chemical and Environmental Science and Engineering, Vice-Rector for Faculty and Academic Affairs, King Abdullah University of Science and Armenia Email List Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia. Professor Nunes has been awarded for her outstanding work in the development of innovative membrane filters to achieve highly efficient chemical separations with a lower carbon footprint. Her research has proven to be especially beneficial for the water, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries in achieving a more sustainable environment.
Laureate for Latin America and the Caribbean Professor Ana María Font – Physics Professor of Physics, Central University of Venezuela Professor Ana María Font has been awarded for her important contributions to theoretical particle physics, in particular to the study of String Theory. Her research has delved into the implications of the theory for the structure of matter and quantum gravity, which is also relevant to the description of black holes and the first moments after the big bang. Awarded for North America Professor Aviv Bioinformatics Executive Vice President and Global Head of Research and Early Development, Genentech/Roche, San Francisco Professor Aviv has been awarded for her pioneering work in the application of mathematics and computer science to revolutionize cell biology.
