Jennifer Ann Love is an American chemist, Professor and Head of the Department at the University of Calgary.

Early life and education

Love was born in New England.[1] She grew up in Rochester, New York. Love realised she was interested in science whilst at high school, but it was until the second year of college that she realised that her favourite science was chemistry.[2] She was an undergraduate student at the Allegheny College, and graduated Magna cum Laude.[3] She moved to Stanford University for her graduate studies, where she studied metal-catalysed reactions to generate seven membered rings.[2] Specifically, her thesis considered rhodium-catalysed cycloadditions, and was amongst the first studies to create a biologically active natural product.[4] At Stanford University Love worked in the laboratory of Paul Wender.[2]

Research and career

After graduating Love joined the California Institute of Technology as an National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow with Robert H. Grubbs.[5] Here she studied the reaction mechanism for olefin metathesis.[2]

In 2003 Love moved to Canada to start her independent scientific career at the University of British Columbia. At the UBC Love led a research group on organometallic chemistry.[3] She also served as Senior Advisor on Women Faculty.[6]

She moved to the University of Calgary in 2019. Here she looks at how the metallic centre influences the reactivity.[3]
