Charlotte K. Williams is Director of the UK Catalysis Hub and a professor of Inorganic Chemistry. She is an EPSRC Established Career Research Fellow and a Co-Director of the centre for doctoral training in Inorganic Chemistry for Future Manufacturing. She heads-up a research team investigating polymerization catalysis with a particular focus on carbon dioxide utilization and transformation into products. Her research includes investigations into carbon dioxide copolymerization, switchable polymerization catalysis, stereoselective lactide polymerization and colloidal nanocatalysts for carbon dioxide hydrogenation. Her work has been recently recognised by election as a fellow of the Royal Society (2021), the Royal Society of Chemistry Tilden Medal (2021), an OBE for Services to Chemistry (2020), Macro Group UK Medal (2019), DeChema Otto Roelen Catalysis Medal (2018), The UK Catalysis Hub Sir John Meurig Thomas Medal (2017) and the Royal Society of Chemistry Corday Morgan Medal (2016).
