Emma Pye
​PhD - Since April 2020

Previous: MChem (Prof. Harrity) at the University of Sheffield 
Current: PhD student - Integrating biocatalysis and metal-mediated radical cyclizations for diversity oriented synthesis
Funding: EPSRC

Prizes: Wharton prize (awarded for the best performance in level 1 chemistry examinations); GSK scholarship (awarded during 1st year of undergraduate studies; Jon Weaver Memorial prize (awarded for the best performance in level 2 chemistry examinations); Lubrizol prize (awarded for best overall performance for final year students studying chemistry with a year in industry); Haworth medal (awarded for best overall performance for final year students on the MChem course)

Biography: I grew up in Sheffield where I completed an MChem at the University of Sheffield working under Prof. Harrity studying alkyne diboration/electrocyclization strategies for the synthesis of pyridine boronic acid derivatives. During my undergraduate studies I completed a year in industry at GSK where as a process chemist I was concerned with the optimisation of a three-step synthesis of a tris-nitrile amide towards a pharmaceutical target. In my spare time I am often found deadlifting fully grown adults, or more generally - throwing around heavy objects at the gym.
