RedOxWiChem

RedOxWiChem began its pilot phase in Jan 2024 to raise awareness of women chemists within our department, and we hope to extend it to the larger women chemistry community locally & globally in future series. 

The name RedOxWiChem is derived from one of the most fundamental chemical reactions in chemistry; Reduction-Oxidation (Redox). Senior women chemist mentor & inspire budding women chemists, and have helped lay the path for future generations women chemists – akin to the chemistry that occurs in reduction and oxidation reaction. Hence why, RedOxWiChem profiles feature a senior and junior women chemist.

Dr Anna Regoutz, Associate Professor of Experimental Inorganic Chemistry

I am originally from Austria, where I studied chemistry and worked in the semiconductor industry. I came to the UK in 2010 to pursue a DPhil at Oxford, after which I spent my post-doc and fellowship years at Southampton and Imperial. I started my first academic appointment at UCL in 2019 and returned to Oxford in September 2024. Our group’s research vision is to explore the structure-electronic structure relationship in inorganic solids and how this manifests in their overall physico-chemical characteristics with the ultimate goal of integrating them into opto-electronic devices. In my free time, I mostly argue over the correct arrangement of vehicles with my toddler, poodle around the garden, or work on perfecting my Austrian baking skills.

Neave Taylor, General Member

Hi everyone! My name is Neave and I’m a second year DPhil in Physical Chemistry in the Perkin group. My undergrad was at the University of Sydney where I studied Chemistry and Physics. In my research I am using our group’s surface force balance to look at the structure and properties of battery electrolytes. I am also one of the new MPLS ED&I fellows this year so if you have any suggestions or concerns in this area feel free to reach out via email neave.taylor@chem.ox.ac.uk. Outside of the lab I enjoy drawing, playing the drums, and perusing charity shops.
