Polly Arnold Professor of chemistry, University of Edinburgh, School of Chemistry

Crum Brown Chair of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society of Chemistry Currently holds an EPSRC career fellowship

Professor Arnold's research is focused on exploratory synthetic chemistry, designed to push the boundaries of bonding and reactivity theories. This knowledge is then translated into the discovery of new catalysts for chemical transformations, and helping to understand the behaviour of nuclear waste.

Interested in making complexes that challenge preconceived notions about structure and bonding in early transition metal, and lanthanide and actinide chemistry.

Awarded The Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Prize 2012 for her scientific achievements, suitability as a role model and proposal to promote women in STEM.

Executive producer of the documentary film "A Chemical Imbalance".
