Person

Coote, Michelle Louise

FAA

Occupation
Polymer chemist

Summary

Michelle Coote is recognised as a pioneer in the development and application of accurate computational chemistry for modelling radical polymerization processes, and for her contributions to understanding the kinetics of these complicated processes and designing improved reagents for manipulating their outcome. Her research interests currently focus on harnessing of electric fields for chemical catalysis and development of techniques for controlling the stereochemistry of radical polymerisation. In 2011 Coote was appointed the first female Professor of Chemistry at the Australian National University. She is active in professional organisations including the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for which she has chaired several Divisions.
