2024 Analytical Science early career Prize: Joseph Black Prize Winner
Dr Maxie Roessler, Imperial College London
Awarded for 乐天堂app下载 development of advanced electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to investigate, structurally define and exploit catalysis by chemical and biological systems.
Dr Maxie Roessler mostly grew up in Germany. A year in Italy, attending a French high school in Berlin and coming to 乐天堂app下载 UK for her A-levels have contributed to her identifying as European. She studied chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Oxford and discovered bioinorganic chemistry during her 4th-year research project in Professor Armstrong’s group. Maxie spent one-and-a-half years in China with a scholarship from 乐天堂app下载 German Academic Exchange Service, studying Mandarin and working for Bayer. She returned to Oxford for her PhD, where she learned about electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy as part of 乐天堂app下载 newly emerging EPR centre. 乐天堂app下载 thrill of combining tools that reveal enzyme activity (from protein-film electrochemistry) and detailed insight into electronic structure (from EPR) has remained with her ever since. During her PhD, Maxie also became fascinated by iron-sulphur clusters.
