Rachel Brown
PhD - Since September 2021
Previous: MChem - University of York
Current: PhD student - Sulfonium salts-mediated couplings
Funding: EPSRC AstraZeneca CASE Studentship
Prizes: AstraZeneca Prize for the best exam performance in Year 2; Whinfield Medal for highest achieving MChem student – University of York; shortlisted for the Salter Graduate Prize.
Biography: I grew up in Leeds, West Yorkshire. I obtained my undergraduate degree at the University of York, where I completed my final year project under the supervision of Professor Peter O'Brien. My project focussed on the diastereoselective synthesis of trans-β-aryl 5-membered cyclic sulfoximines. In 2021, I joined the Procter group to investigate sulfonium salts-mediated cross-coupling reactions. In my free time, I enjoy running, walking my dog and reading.
