Laura McCormick

Dr. Laura McCormick is a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, specializing in inorganic and materials chemistry. Her work focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and application of coordination complexes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and corrole-based materials. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of Melbourne.

Her research interests include the design of functional materials for gas capture, catalysis, and optoelectronics, with a particular emphasis on structural chemistry, spectroscopic analysis, and the interplay between molecular architecture and physical properties. She contributes to interdisciplinary projects, collaborating with groups in spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, and computational modeling.

Dr. McCormick’s publications reflect her expertise in advanced materials, including studies on lanthanide complexes, iron-based clusters, and fluorinated corroles. Her work has appeared in high-impact journals such as Nature Chemistry and Angewandte Chemie.

Her lab affiliations include the Characterisation and Analytics research group, where she leverages cutting-edge techniques for material characterization. While no awards are explicitly listed, her prolific publication record highlights her contributions to the field.
