Taylor, Annette - University of Sheffield - Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering

个人简介

BSc, PhD, MRSC, FHEA I obtained a BSc in Chemistry and PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Leeds, specialising in Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics. After a short period at the University of Montana and at a Cancer Research Institute in Dijon, I returned to Leeds as a Lecturer in Physical Chemistry in 2001. I was awarded a five-year RCUK Fellowship in 2005 with a focus on modelling of biological/bioinspired systems and became Senior Lecturer in 2010. In 2014, I moved to Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield to pursue applications in engineering.

研究领域

My research involves the design and optimisation of chemical/biochemical systems through consideration of catalytic reaction networks coupled with mass transport. I'm particularly interested in aqueous phase catalysis and control of dynamics in cellular biological or bioinspired chemical systems. Taking inspiration from nature or the use of natural components allows us to design materials and processes that are greener or more sustainable, but also harness the unique properties arising from feedback in natural systems including self-organisation. The research combines experiments with kinetic modelling and has a wide range of applications such bio-reactors for fuel or food, materials formation or degradation, drug delivery and sensing. Some current projects include kinetic switches in enzyme loaded colloids or vesicles for drug delivery and lignocellulose processing for bioethanol production in yeast bio-reactors. Interests Catalysis; autocatalysis and biocatalysis Kinetic Modelling Bioinspired systems Reaction Engineering Active soft matter, colloids and interfaces
