About the Materials Education Symposia
AMDES 2025, the Asian edition of the prestigious global conference series including IMES and NAMES, is dedicated to advancing teaching methods in Materials Sciences and Design Engineering. Scheduled for January 15-16, 2025, in Singapore, the symposium will host 90-120 participants, including educators, researchers, and practitioners. With Prof. Sir Gregory P. Winter, Nobel Laureate of 2018, as the plenary speaker, the event will focus on innovative teaching strategies, educational advances in Design Engineering, and sharing success stories from educational institutions worldwide. AMDES 2025 aims to enhance professional networks, foster collaboration, and promote learning and innovation. Proudly sponsored by CAD-IT and Ansys.
Sir Gregory P. WinterThe Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2018
Sir Gregory P. Winter, born in Leicester in 1951, grew up in Ghana and later studied at the University of Cambridge, where he earned his PhD in 1977. A leading scientist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Winter pioneered the use of phage display to evolve antibodies, a technique that has led to new treatments for diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. His work in antibody-based pharmaceuticals earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2018.
