Current members

Eloise is originally from Southampton, England. She is currently in her fourth year studying Chemistry at Wadham College, University of Oxford. Her Part II project focuses on enantioselective iron cross-coupling reactions.

George is originally from Temirtau, Kazakhstan. He completed his B.Sc. at Moscow State University and M.Sc. at the National University of Singapore. He is working on the synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of Iron(I) complexes and their relevance for cross-coupling reactions.

Alexis is originally from Ohio, USA. She completed her B.A. at the College of Wooster and her M.Sc. at University of Rochester. She investigates iron-catalysed reactions for organic synthesis for C-C and C-N bond formation, as well as low-valent organoiron synthesis.

Freya is originally from Hertfordshire, England. She completed her MChem at Exeter College, University of Oxford. Her research interests lie in developing iron polymerisation catalysts, investigating their mechanism of action and establishing structure-performance correlations.

Nathalia is originally from Cali, Colombia. She completed her B.A. at Universidad del Valle and her M.Sc. at University of Rochester. She investigates iron catalysed mechanism for aryl-heteroaryl cross-coupling and alkylboration reactions.

Fáinché is originally from County Armagh, Ireland. She completed her MSci at Queen's University, Belfast and her PhD at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, which focussed on the design and development of new bimetallic catalysts based on main group metal centres. Her current research in the group focuses on iron catalysed cross-electrophile couplings for sustainable catalysis.

Jos is from originally from Staffordshire, England. He completed his MChem degree at Keele University. His current research interests lie in mechanistic investigations of iron-catalysed electrophile cross coupling systems.

Shih-Chieh Kao is originally from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He completed his B.Sc. at Tamkang University, M.Sc at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and PhD at Rice University in Texas. He is currently investigating iron-catalyzed C-H activation.

Maria is originally from Clare, Ireland. She completed her B.A. (Mod) in Chemistry with Biosciences at Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin. She is currently investigating iron catalysed C-H activation.

Ben is originally from Cheshire, England. He completed his MChem degree at Christ Church College, University of Oxford. His research interests are in ligand development and mechanistic studies of aryl-alkyl iron catalysed cross-couplings.
