Professor Michelle Coote is a Georgina Sweet ARC Laureate Fellow, and is also an Executive Editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. She is a graduate of the University of New South Wales, where she completed a B.Sc. (Hons) in industrial chemistry (1995), followed by a Ph.D. in polymer chemistry with Professor Tom Davis (2000). Following postdoctoral work in polymer physics with Professor Randal Richards at the University of Durham, UK, she joined the Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University (ANU) in 2001, initially as a postdoctoral fellow in computational chemistry with Professor Leo Radom. She established her own research group at the ANU in 2004, where she was promoted to Professor in 2011. She moved to Flinders University as a Matthew Flinders Professor in Chemistry in 2022. She is a member of the new ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Biotechnology. Professor Coote is an elected fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (FAA), the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (FRACI) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). She has received many awards including all four major RACI National awards – the Cornforth Medal (2000), Rennie Medal (2006), HG Smith Medal (2016) and Leighton Medal (2021) – as well as major research awards from both its polymer and its physical divisions. She has also received the IUPAC prize for young scientists (2001), the Le Fevre Memorial Prize of the Australian Academy of Science (2010), the Pople Medal of the Asia-Pacific Association for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (2015), and the RSC Australasian Lectureship (2020). She has been a recipient of all three career stage Australian Research Council (ARC) fellowships: an ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship (2002-4), an ARC Future Fellowship (2010-14), and a Georgina Sweet ARC Laureate Fellowship (2017-22).

Electrostatic Catalysis Making medicines and complex materials is messy and wasteful. Using electric fields as catalysts could make chemistry far cleaner Greener Synthetic Chemistry Green chemistry efficiently utilises (preferably renewable) raw materials, eliminates waste and avoids the use of toxic and/or hazardous reagents and solvents in the manufacture and application of chemical products. Polymer Chemistry Plastic, in many ways, allows us to sustain our population of 7 billion. It is necessary for world-wide transportation of food and materials; for medical equipment; for computers. Computational Chemistry ‘In so far as quantum mechanics is correct, chemical questions are problems in applied mathematics’.
