:Stephen Mann (chemist)

Mann was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in 1976,{{Cite web|url=https://your.manchester.ac.uk/login-required?bm=-1832870297|title=Login Required - The University of Manchester|website=your.manchester.ac.uk|access-date=2016-07-27}} and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Oxford in 1982 under the supervision of Professor R. J. P. Williams FRS.{{Cite web|url=https://oxfordalumnicommunity.org/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912221318/http://oxfordalumnicommunity.org/|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 September 2015|title=Oxford Alumni Community|website=Oxford Alumni Community|access-date=2016-07-27}}

Following his Doctor of Philosophy degree, Mann was elected to a junior research fellowship at Keble College, University of Oxford,{{Cite web|url=http://www.wiley-vch.de/vch/journals/2089/interviews2001/am_stephen_mann.pdf|title=Wiley Interview Article}} and then awarded a lectureship at the University of Bath in 1984 where he was appointed to a full professorship in 1990. He moved to the University of Bristol in 1998.{{Cite web|url=http://www.bris.ac.uk/chemistry/people/stephen-mann/|title=Bristol People}}

Mann's research is concerned with the chemical synthesis, characterization and emergence of complex forms of organized matter. His research activities include biomineralization,{{Cite journal|last=Mann|first=Stephen|date=1988-03-10|title=Molecular recognition in biomineralization|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=332|issue=6160|pages=119–124|doi=10.1038/332119a0|bibcode=1988Natur.332..119M|s2cid=4342005}}{{Cite book|url=https://global.oup.com/academic/product/biomineralization-9780198508823?q=Biomineralization&lang=en&cc=gb|title=Biomineralization|series=Oxford Chemistry Masters |date=November 2001 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-850882-3 }} biomimetic materials chemistry,{{Cite journal|last=Mann|first=Stephen|date=1993-10-07|title=Molecular tectonics in biomineralization and biomimetic materials chemistry|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=365|issue=6446|pages=499–505|doi=10.1038/365499a0|bibcode=1993Natur.365..499M|s2cid=4358080}} synthesis and self-assembly of nanoscale objects,{{Cite journal|last1=Li|first1=Mei|last2=Schnablegger|first2=Heimo|last3=Mann|first3=Stephen|date=1999-11-25|title=Coupled synthesis and self-assembly of nanoparticles to give structures with controlled organization|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=402|issue=6760|pages=393–395|doi=10.1038/46509|issn=0028-0836|bibcode=1999Natur.402..393L|s2cid=4307826}} functional nanomaterials,{{Cite journal|last1=Davis|first1=Sean A.|last2=Burkett|first2=Sandra L.|last3=Mendelson|first3=Neil H.|last4=Mann|first4=Stephen|date=1997-01-30|title=Bacterial templating of ordered macrostructures in silica and silica-surfactant mesophases|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=385|issue=6615|pages=420–423|doi=10.1038/385420a0|bibcode=1997Natur.385..420D|s2cid=4280267}} complexity and emergent behaviour in hybrid nanostructures,{{Cite journal|last=Mann|first=Stephen|date=2009-10-01|title=Self-assembly and transformation of hybrid nano-objects and nanostructures under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions|journal=Nature Materials|language=en|volume=8|issue=10|pages=781–792|doi=10.1038/nmat2496|issn=1476-1122|pmid=19734883|bibcode=2009NatMa...8..781M|doi-access=free}} and solvent-free liquid proteins.{{Cite journal|last1=Brogan|first1=Alex P.
