We warmly welcome Professor Louise Berben (University of California Davis) as a new Associate Editor for Chem Soc Rev.
Prof. Berben
Louise Berben is Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of California Davis where her research program focuses primarily on synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry. Her honours and awards include the Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2013), Organometallics Young Investigator Fellowship (2014), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2014), and Kavli Fellow (2015).
Her research program spans synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on synthesis of new transition metal and main group molecules with unusual electronic structures, which support electron and proton transfer reactions, and the generation and reaction of hydride with small molecules such as CO2 and N2. Recent work includes electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate in neutral water, including thermochemical and kinetic investigations that explain the selectivity of the C-H bond formation event.
