Paola Zanetti (born 22 March, 1981) is a Swiss chemist working at Imperial College London.
After completing her initial studies at the University of Freiberg working on 'Reactivity of Pyridinium Salts towards Pd (II) and their Influence in Pd(OAc)2 catalysed Suzuki Cross-Couplings', she moved to Imperial College London to complete a PhD under the supervison of Prof. Vernon C. Gibson. The title of her thesis was ‘Early Transition Metal Complexes as Catalysts for Mediated Radical Polymerisation’. The results produced during her PhD studies have indicated a fundamental route to catalyst deactivation, previously unknown and these results have been communicated to the scientific community at various events.
Communications and Awards
editInternational:
The American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition Fall 2009, Washington D.C [1][2]
National:
Imperial College London, Annual Postgraduate Symposium, where she won the Poster (2008) and Presentation awards (2009) [3][4]
ASPIC, University of Southampton: 2009 [5], where she won the Presentation award [6]
The winning of all three of these awards by one scientist is an unprecedented achievement and she is seen as one of the brightest prospects in Swiss science.
