Dr Alexis (Alix) Clare of Alfred University is the 2025 recipient of the GMIC's Women in Glass Award, sponsored by the Air Products Foundation!

Dr Clare is a distinguished leader in glass science and a Fellow of both the Society of Glass Technology (UK) and the American Ceramic Society. Her extensive research has advanced understanding across diverse areas from photonics and biomaterials to applied and industrial glass technologies.

Beyond her scientific achievements, Dr Clare has made an enduring mark as an educator and mentor at Alfred University. Her creativity and energy in the classroom have inspired countless students to explore innovation within the field. Her groundbreaking 1990s video, “What is Ceramic Engineering?”, introduced a new generation to the world of glass and ceramics.

At the ESG meeting in Sunderland in 2006 Alix presented a lecture to local students that included David Martlew and John Parker both being supported by just a laminated windscreen. [We have the video and we'll put a link to it soon!]
