Professor Anna Slater

Personal Statement

Anna Slater received her PhD in supramolecular chemistry from the University of Nottingham in 2011. Following postdoctoral positions in porphyrin self-assembly (University of Nottingham) and porous organic cage materials (University of Liverpool) she took up a Royal Society-EPSRC Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship in 2016 and a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2021. She was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2021/22 and to a Personal Chair in Oct 2022. Anna developed an interest in flow chemistry during her PDRA positions, recognising that flow technology has a lot to offer the supramolecular chemist; exploiting flow processes for enhanced control of chemistry is now a central theme of her work. Her research interests include molecular materials, enabling technology/automation, and organic synthesis and self-assembly. Her research group is based between the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Innovation Factory at the University of Liverpool.
