Professor Kylie Vincent is Fellow and Tutor in Chemistry at Jesus College and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
Academic Background
Professor Vincent holds a Bachelor of Arts (English Literature) and Bachelor of Science (Hons, Chemistry/Biochemistry) from the University of Melbourne, Australia (2000). Her PhD (Chemistry, University of Melbourne, Australia, 2003) involved a joint research project with the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK. She then took up a Postdoctoral Research position in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford in 2002, and an RJP Williams Junior Research Fellowship at Wadham College in 2003. In 2007 she took up a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, and a Senior Research Fellowship at Wadham College, Oxford before joining Jesus College in 2008.
Undergraduate Teaching
Inorganic Chemistry.
Postgraduate Teaching
Metallo-enzymes, electrochemistry, infrared spectroelectrochemistry, fuel cells, catalysis, hydrogen, energy.
Research Interests
Understanding biological redox catalysis – in particular the efficient oxidation or production of hydrogen by microbial hydrogenase enzymes at [FeFe] or [NiFe] centres; studying enzyme active sites during catalytic turnover using direct electrochemical and Infrared spectroelectrochemical methods; exploiting enzyme catalysis in energy cycling.
Hobbies
Outside the Lab, Professor Vincent enjoys literature, travelling and running in the park.
