Daniel R. Neuville given the 2025 Morey Award

Professor Daniel R. Neuville has been given the 2025 Morey Award at the 16th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology including Glass & Optical Materials Division Meeting (GOMD 2025) in Vancouver, Canada.

The award’s namesake, George Morey, was a pioneer in the study of glass properties. His book The Properties of Glass is a classic work in the field of glass science and technology. Morey conducted his research at the intersection of Earth and Materials Sciences at the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Daniel R. Neuville is a senior research director at CNRS-IPGP, Université de Paris. He obtained his PhD in geochemistry from Université Paris Diderot in 1992 and conducted postdoctoral research at the Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington (1993–1994). He joined CNRS as a researcher in 1994 and has led the Geomat group at IPGP since 2014. From 2012 to 2025, he chaired the Master’s program in Geochemistry, Geomaterials, Geobiology, and Environment at IPGP-Université Paris Cité.

His research pioneers the use multiple spectroscopies to develop structural models for glasses and melts, bridging geomaterials, physics, and chemistry. He has significantly advanced the understanding of macroscopic properties in relation to atomic-scale structure and dynamics.

Professor Neuville is the current President of the European Society of Glass Science and Technology and will host the next ESG conference (and ICG Annual Meeting) in Lyon in 2026.
