In loving memory of our esteemed colleague and dear friend, Professor Norbert Klein, the Department of Materials at Imperial College London has created this tribute website. Norbert sadly passed away on 31 July 2023 from cancer. He is survived by his cherished wife, Olena, and six beloved children.
 
Norbert joined the department in 2009 as Professor in Electromagnetic Nanomaterials, from the Juelich Research Centre in Germany. Norbert was a tremendous scientist, engineer and all-round enthusiast who made huge contributions to his field of research, spanning the study of functional materials properties to the implementation of terahertz sensor devices. Norbert was also intensely committed to the department's success, always ready to share his wisdom and brighten conversations with his superb sense of humour. 
 
Although Norbert's physical presence is no longer with us, his fervour, brilliance, and outstanding contributions will forever inspire us. We invite you to join us in celebrating his extraordinary life and enduring legacy by sharing your tributes, thoughts, and memories.
