School of Chemistry researcher awarded RSC Early Career Award

Dr Jennifer Garden has been awarded the prestigious RSC Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms Group Early Career Award.

The RSC has recognised Dr Jennifer Garden for her exceptional contribution to the field of inorganic reaction mechanisms, and particularly her research on earth-abundant metal-mediated transformations for sustainable polymer chemistry.

Jennifer's work has made significant strides in understanding the mechanisms of earth-abundant metal catalysts, with a focus on creating a circular economy. Her research has led to notable advances in areas such as block copolymer synthesis and heterometallic catalyst design. By shedding light on the roles of different metals and the factors influencing catalyst performance, Jennifer's research is helping to shape the field of catalysis and enabling the development of more efficient and sustainable catalyst systems.

Commenting on receiving the RSC award, Dr Garden said;

I’m thrilled to receive this award, which is thanks to the hard work and talent of the whole team. One of my favourite parts of being an academic researcher is the opportunity to work with an innovative, diverse, and enthusiastic group of researchers and collaborators, and I’m truly honoured that our work has been recognised in this way.

Commenting on Jennifer’s achievement, Head of the School of Chemistry, Professor Jason Love, said:

We are extremely proud of Jennifer on receiving this prestigious RSC award, which recognises the quality and impact of her research. We look forward to continuing to support her impressive research career and to seeing her build on this success in the years ahead.
