Lisa Murphy has won the ICI-sponsored Top Chemistry Student award at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Student of the Year awards

Lisa Murphy, a chemistry graduate from the University of Durham, won the ICI-sponsored Top Chemistry Student award at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Student of the Year awards. Murphy collected her award trophy and £500 at a prizewinners' ceremony held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London in September.

Organised by the World Leadership Forum and supported by many of the UK's leading employers and professional bodies in the science and engineering sectors, the competition recognises the achievements of outstanding SET undergraduates in their final-year research projects.

Students are initially assessed on the basis of a written report and citation from their research project supervisors, and finally by a panel of judges.
