Dr Marina Uzelac is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, affiliated with the Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change. She is actively leading two research projects funded by The Royal Society focused on manganese catalysis and is accepting doctoral students. Education: PhD in Chemistry, University of Strathclyde (awarded 2016) MSc in Chemistry, University of Zagreb (2011) BSc in Chemistry, University of Zagreb (2009) Her research lies at the intersection of inorganic and synthetic chemistry, with a focus on cooperative reactivity of rarely employed metals, particularly manganese and alkali metals. She investigates the use of manganates in catalytic transformations, electrophilic borylation strategies, and the development of sustainable synthetic methodologies. Her work often involves N-heterocyclic carbenes and explores structural diversity in metal complexes. The recent publications highlight a strong trend in organometallic synthesis, C-H functionalization, and the design of novel borylation methods with applications in materials science, particularly BN-doped helicenes. Her work bridges fundamental inorganic chemistry with practical synthetic applications. Scientific Awards: Royal Society University Research Fellow Dr Uzelac is the Principal Investigator on two active grants from The Royal Society: 'Mn(II): A Janus Face for Catalysis' and its enhanced research expenses counterpart, both running from 2022 to 2027. These grants support her independent research program in sustainable catalysis. While no formal advisees are listed, she is accepting doctoral students, indicating an emerging supervisory role. She is actively involved in research networks and collaborations across Europe, particularly in the areas of main group and transition metal chemistry. Her work is disseminated through high-impact journals and has garnered attention in academic and social media circles.
