- Symiah Barnett AMRSC, Phd Student, Loughborough University, United Kingdom
Symiah Barnett is a PhD student at Loughborough University who is supported by the Natural Environment Research Council. Symiah is interested in environmental chemistry, and her research topic examines the prevalence of microplastics and nanoplastics in freshwater and marine environments. She just won the election to the environmental chemistry committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry and is an advocate for participation and outreach in this area.
2. Dr Elizabeth Rowsell OBE CChem FRSC, Director, Johnson Matthey Technology, United Kingdom
Liz oversees the corporate R&D division of JM, the Johnson Matthey Technology Centres. She studied charge interactions in Fe co-ordination complexes using Mössbauer spectroscopy for her PhD at the University of Essex in 1993, working in conjunction with the Nitrogen Fixation Unit at Sussex University.
As a Research Scientist with Johnson Matthey beginning in 1993, Liz worked on the creation of metal-based medicines for the treatment of sepsis. Liz has worked on projects related to biomass processing, gas purification, and materials for energy generation throughout her time with Johnson Matthey. She has also worked on the development of catalysts for use in pharmaceuticals, food, and personal safety. She is in charge of a multicultural group of gifted engineers and scientists who deliver cross-sector science to build a cleaner and healthier planet.
3. Dr Asel Sartbaeva MRSC, Reader, University of Bath, United Kingdom
Dr. Asel Sartbaeva is an Enterprise Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Reader (Associate Professor) of Chemistry at the University of Bath, and a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF KG’s “Girls in STEM” initiative.
The Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University awarded Asel his first degree in 1999. After being awarded a scholarship by ICI to study for her PhD in Cambridge, she arrived in the UK in 2001. She obtained a PhD from Cambridge University, being the first person from Central Asia to do so. After that, she spent three years working as a postdoc at Arizona State University.
