Marieke Hüttenschmidt has joined us from the University of Rostock for a research project working with Massimiliano Curcio on the activation of CO2 using complexes of redox-active ligands. She graduated with a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the University of Rostock in 2016. During her Bachelor thesis she was working in the groups of Prof. Wolfram Seidel and Prof. Christian Vogel on metal complexes based on 2-deoxyribose furanose derivatives and is currently pursuing her M.Sc. degree in Chemistry.

Jason Love was awarded a BSc(Hons) in Applied Chemistry by Salford University in 1989 followed by a PhD in rhenium polyhydride chemistry in 1993, working with John Spencer. Following a series of postdoctoral positions with Geoff Cloke (Sussex), Michael Fryzuk (UBC), and Martin Schröder (Nottingham) looking at alkene polymerisation, dinitrogen fixation, and anion-binding receptor chemistry, respectively, he was awarded a lectureship and Royal Society URF (1999-2004) at Sussex in 1999. In 2001, he moved to Nottingham University and then to Edinburgh University as a Senior Lecturer in 2007 and Reader in 2010, and is now Professor of Molecular Inorganic Chemistry (2015). He is the Edinburgh PI of the EPSRC CDT in Critical Resource Catalysis (CRITICAT) with St Andrews and Heriot-Watt Universities . He has researched chemistry across the Periodic Table, focusing at present on small molecule redox catalysis in relation to energy and resource sustainability, ligand design strategies for d- and f-element chemistry, supramolecular catalysis, and metal extraction and recycling processes.
