Jennifer Ann Love is an American chemist, Professor and Head of the Department at the University of Calgary.[1] Her research focuses on

Early life and education

Love was born in New England in the United States.[2] She grew up in Rochester, New York. Love realized she was interested in science whilst at high school, but it was during her early years of college that she discovered that her favorite science was chemistry.[3] She was an undergraduate student at the Allegheny College, where she graduated magna cum laude in 1994.[4] She attended Stanford University for her graduate studies, where she worked in the laboratory of Paul Wender and studied metal-catalyzed reactions to generate seven-membered rings.[3] Specifically, her thesis considered rhodium-catalyzed cycloadditions, and was amongst the first studies to create a biologically active natural product using this synthetic methodology.[5]

Research and career

After graduating with her doctorate, Love joined the California Institute of Technology as an National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow with Robert H. Grubbs.[6] Here she studied the reaction mechanism for olefin metathesis.[3]

In 2003, Love moved to Canada to start her independent scientific career at the University of British Columbia (UBC). At UBC, Love led a research group on organometallic chemistry.[4] She also has served as Senior Advisor on Women Faculty.[7]

She moved to the University of Calgary in 2019. Here she looks at how the metallic centre influences the reactivity.[4]
