Welcome Emilie!!

[Emilie Werner, PhD @EmilieWerner7]

Happy to share that I have joined the @LarrosaGroup as a postdoctoral research associate in catalysis and machine learning in collaboration with the @BuresGroup !

Looking forward to exciting new research and collaboration 💡

And just like that, it’s done! Thrilled to share I passed my PhD viva on Monday morning!! Massive thank you to prof Ed Anderson and prof Guillaume De Bo for a great discussion about the work and to the rest of the Larrosa group for an excellent few years!

[Gillian McArthur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @GillianMcArth10]

Really happy to see our catalyst RuAqua featured in this month's OPR&D highlights. If you haven't already, be sure to check it out! There's a great range of exciting work here! @ACSPublications @LarrosaGroup

Just out in @JACS, we report mechanistic studies on the photoexcitation of biscyclometalated-Ru species and their role in photocatalyzed C-H alkylations with epoxides.

Congratulations to Kurt and co-workers, @Team_Natrajan and Golovanov group!!

We are so excited to share our collaborative work with the @GreenGroupMIB, on the development of biocatalysts for enantioselective SNAr reactions, just out in @Nature!!

Massive congrats to Tom, @TListerChem, and all co-workers! 👏

I’m very very excited to share that yesterday I was awarded an Outstanding Achievement Award by the department. A great time to reflect on everything we’ve managed to do in the past few years in the lead up to submitting my thesis this month! @LarrosaGroup

[Gillian McArthur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @GillianMcArth10]

Super excited to have had the opportunity to present as a guest speaker on Synthesis Workshop (@MatthewHorwitz1)! If you haven't already be sure to check it out and learn about our brand-new ruthenium catalyst @LarrosaGroup

What a brilliant conference organised by outstandingly inspiring women in chemistry! I had the honour of presenting my work at EWOC in Birmingham this year and can't believe I won a prize in the Early Careers Section. A truly great 2 days of amazing chemistry! #EWOCEU24 #EWOC24

Was thrilled to be chosen as a finalist at yesterday’s #3MT competition! I had a great time bringing some chemistry to the meeting and hearing about all sorts of exciting research at UoM including everything from beetles to black holes! Thank you @UoMResDev for organising!

[Gillian McArthur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @GillianMcArth10]

Had a wonderful time in Cardiff on Friday at the @SCIupdate Postgraduate Symposium! Great to see the amazing work done by so many extremely talented PhD students! I was also honoured to receive a first-place prize for my presentation talking about the @LarrosaGroup new catalyst!

[Sebastian Cosgrove @scosgrove123]

Most importantly, our poster prize winners were Gillian McCarthur @LarrosaGroup, Sophia Gloria @PulisGroup and Dennis Hartman @UoBChemistry. Well done all for great poster presentations!

[Cassandre Bories @CassandreBories]

What an honour to receive the 2024 Henri Kagan PhD prize from the @DCO_SCF ! Thank you for the trust and congratulation to all the awardees! 🏆
