In celebration of the School of Physical Sciences being awarded Athena SWAN Silver in July 2017 we are delighted to host Dr Caroline Dessent from the University of York (Department of Chemistry) who will deliver a talk entitled "Going for Gold: Athena SWAN and Beyond" on Thursday 21st September at 12 noon in University Lecture Theatre C in the Central Teaching Hub.
Caroline Dessent studied Chemistry at Oxford University, and then pursued a PhD in Physical Chemistry at Yale University in the USA.
She arrived in York as a post-doctoral fellow in 1997, and has worked in the Department of Chemistry since. She was a Royal Society University Research Fellow from 1999-2008, and then held an European Research Council Starting Independent Research Award from 2008-2015. She is currently a Reader in Physical Chemistry. Caroline has been strongly involved in York Chemistry's work to support women scientists, including all of the Department's Athena Swan work, informed by her experience of combining science with being a mother to James (17), Grace (12 and Kitty (8).
