Education

edit

Anna Slater studied chemistry at the University of Nottingham, where she graduated in 2006. Slater completed a Ph.D. at the University of Nottingham under the supervision of Professor Neil Champness in 2011.[1]

Career

edit

In 2013 Slater joined the group of Professor Andy Cooper at the University of Liverpool, where she worked on porous organic cages.[2] She is interested in supramolecular chemistry.[3] In 2015 she published "Function-led Design of New Porous Materials" in Science.[4] She was shortlisted in the 2016 Women of the Future awards in the science category.[5][6]

In 2016 she was appointed an EPSRC Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow.[7][8] She looks to develop new functional materials through continuous flow chemistry at the University of Liverpool.[9] Her half-a-million pound grant, "High Throughput Materials Development in Continuous Flow", is supported by the Royal Society.[10] She took part in the Sci Annual Review Meeting, talking about new concepts in organic synthesis.[11]

Slater was co-chair of the UK Research Staff Association (UKRSA).[12][13] Slater led a project looking at how researchers took maternity, paternity, adoption, and parental leave.[14][15] In 2016 she discussed barriers to mothers from pursuing academia.[16]

In 2017, Slater took an exhibit titled "No Assembly Required" to a special joint Royal Society/Science Museum "Lates", part of a series of events open to adult members of the public that typically attracts over 4000 people.[17][18][19][20] As part of the exhibit, Slater worked with Senior Lecturer and science poet Dr. Sam Illingworth to produce a series of poems written by the visitors using language from scientific papers in the field.[21][22]
